SEATTLE - Franklin Barreto was sent back to Triple-A Nashville, as planned, before Saturday’s game, but the young infielder knew the move was coming. Plus, he’ll be back sometime later this month.
“He knew what was going on, he knew he was the one going down, but the conversation was great with him,” manager Bob Melvin said. “The chore for him next time he’s up here is to stay for good and my guess is that could be the case.
“It’s good he got a taste of the big leagues. We’ve done that with some our other guys the last few years and they’ve been the better for it.
