Mariners designated Bradley for assignment

SEATTLE - Slowdown Milton Bradley was cut by the Seattle Mariners Monday, leaving the temperamental fielder, once again the search for a new job.


The Mariners designated Bradley for assignment, giving their 10 days to trade, release or send him to the minors. He was the $ 13 million this season.


"The situation with Milton, it is that we have determined it is not part of our future and is not part of our present," Mariners General Manager Jack Zduriencik said.


The 33-year old Bradley has struck. 218 with two Homer and 13 points in 28 games. He was suspended for a match last week for bumping an umpire, ejected Friday for arguing a third strike called and booed by fans home over the weekend of perception, was it is on the defence.


"It was not a particular incident," Zduriencik said. "It is just a question of our assessments of where we are and where we, and our estimates were that it was not good.". This is why decision making. ?


Asked if Bradley has had a negative impact on the clubhouse, Zduriencik said: "it is difficult to say." I don't know that. I think it gets down more to what we are trying to accomplish and where we're going. ?


Bradley is a batting career. 271 with 125 home runs since the start in Montreal in 2000. He played for eight teams in the majors, including five clubs over the past five seasons.


The Mariners also cut utilityman Ryan Langerhans. He frappe.171 with three to six points in 19 games.


Seattle called outfielders Carlos Peguero and Mike Wilson of Tacoma 2007. Peguero has played five games for the Mariners last month and Wilson will make his debut in the big league.


Bradley received two hits Sunday in loss of the sailors for the Chicago White Sox 10-channel. The defeat left Seattle to 16-19.


Bradley came to Seattle on December 18, 2009, the Chicago Cubs for pitcher Carlos Silva. Bradley publicly accused fans of Chicago and the media for him to traffic of the city.


The former All-Star have atteint.205 with eight and 29 points in 73 games for the Mariners last year. He has been sidelined for the season on August 17 because of knee surgery.


Bradley missed time in mid-season to undergo counseling after asking the club to help him to deal with personal issues. He is finishing up to 30 million, three-year contract this season.


Zduriencik said that he did not necessarily consider trade as a failure, especially since the Cubs released the Silva at prices high this spring.


"It was a situation where we examined the needs of the clubs," he said. "It was a situation where we did not believe Carlos is part of our future and course in Chicago [Milton] was not part of their future.". We essentially exchanged the contract for the contract and hoped that it worked for two clubs.


"We were in the pursuit of bat and really hoped it worked." "At the same time he was a very productive player", he added. "I think it can help a team." I think it can and I hope he gets that opportunity. ?


With regard to Langerhans, "we liked his defence and the fact that he played several positions," Zduriencik said. "But we needed a little more of the production end of the day."


Peguero and Wilson will join the Mariners Tuesday in Baltimore.


The 24-year-old Peguero was recalled by Seattle on 19 April, where Justin Smoak was placed on the bereavement list. He made three starts in left field and hit. 182. Peguero has affected. 282 with four and 13 points in Tacoma.


27 Years Wilson has sailors second round choice in the June 2001 draft. He has been beaten. 381 with four Homer and 14 points in Tacoma.


"Wilson has been here long." He had the opportunity to leave because of different scenarios, "Zduriencik said." "" But he loves this organization. It has the power of fantasy. He had a nice start to this location. It is a hard worker, he has paid his dues and it has the power to the right side. It is the right place at the right time for Michael. ?
