With the offseason officially beginning on Thursday — the day after the final World Series game — the Mariners and general manager Jerry Dipoto made a series of moves to clean up their 40-man roster in preparation.
- Steve Clevenger, C, outrighted to Class AAA Tacoma.
- Ryan Cook, RHP, outrighted to Class AAA Tacoma.
- Charlie Furbush, LHP, outrighted to Class AAA Tacoma.
- Steven Baron, C, designated for assignment
- Adrian Sampson, RHP, claimed off waivers by Texas
- Ryan Weber, RHP, claimed off waivers from Atlanta.
The moves are not completely surprising considering the circumstances surrounding each player.
