Gabe Gross requested and has been granted his release from the Mariners reports MLB.com's Greg Johns (on Twitter). The outfielder hit just .077/.200/.231 in 23 at-bats this spring after signing a minor league deal last month.
Gross, 31, hit just .239/.290/.311 for the A's last year. He's a .239/.330/.385 hitter in 1,680 career plate appearances, though his defense in right field has been particularly strong.
Wow, that’s a brutal slash line. Royals next?
No. Pirates.
Liked him when he was with the Rays, the exact opposite of Gomes.. That being actually useful with the glove and played the game full-tilt in the field, as well as not an auto strikeout at the plate. typical Tampa type player in other words and a shame they don’t have a spot open.. maybe they have something for him at AAA if he can’t get a job.
He shouldn’t have been invited by the Mariners anyway this spring.
