Report: Seattle Mariners Release 3-Time All-Star Carlos Gonzalez

Carlos Gonzalez Mariners

The Seattle Mariners are releasing Carlos Gonzalez after the outfielder signed a minor league deal back in February. Seattle hadn’t released any of its minor leaguers during spring training, which the coronavirus pandemic cut short, but team recently released more than 30 players, Heyman reported Thursday.

The three-time All-Star signed with Seattle on a one-year deal that would’ve paid him $750,000 plus performances bonuses if he made the team, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. He will instead become a free agent once again.

Gonzalez is best known for his 10 years with the Colorado Rockies when he hit .290 with 227 home runs, adding three Gold Gloves. He was at his peak in 2010 when he won the NL batting title and finished third in MVP voting.
