Richie Sexson was released today by the Mariners after a slump lasting most of two seasons and made him a target of constant booing from frustrated Seattle fans.
The Mariners would have loved to have been able to trade Sexson, but his $14 million salary this season made that nearly impossible. So now Seattle is eating the rest of that money – $6,120,219 Sexson is owed from Friday through the end of the season – in what may be the first of multiple moves to rid the last-place team of underperforming veteran players.
It’s about time. I hate talking negatively about anyone, but this guy have never even come close to the performace we expected from him. With all due respect Richie, see you later!
