Mariners Release Wei-Yin Chen
4 years agoThe Seattle Mariners released starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen on Saturday. Chen declined to say whether he would consider playing for professional teams in Japan or South Korea. The Taiwanese left-hander made his MLB debut in April of 2012 as a pitcher for the Orioles. Chen signed a five-year, $80 million deal with the Marlins in 2016 and was released by Miami in November of last year. In his career, the southpaw is 59-51 with a 4.18 ERA in 219 outings (170 starts). The 34-year-old (35 next month) struggled to a 6.59 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 8.3 K/9 in 45 relief outings for the Fish last year. It's not a guarantee that he'll latch on with another team for the shortened 2020 season.
