Ryan Garko will not make Mariners roster

By Allan

According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports, DH/First baseman Ryan Garko’s time with the Seattle Mariners has come to an end. The Mariners have decided to go with Mike Sweeney to fill out their roster.

Garko still has options available to him, so the Mariners will need to decide how to handle his situation. Garko could be assigned to the Minors, or the team could release him.

Garko, 29, hit .268 with 13 home runs and 51 RBIs with the Indians and Giants in 2009. He signed a one-year deal in early February for $550,000 with bonuses that could make the deal worth $1.075 million if he reached 600 plate appearances. You can see Garko’s contract history and statistics here.
