http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/0...ssignment.htmlThe Mariners announced that they designated right-hander Shawn Kelley for assignment. The move creates roster space for Kelly Shoppach, whose one-year deal is now official.
Kelley appeared in 47 games for the Mariners in 2012, posting a 3.25 ERA with 9.1 K/9, 3.0 BB/9 and a 28.8% ground ball rate in 44 1/3 innings. The 28-year-old will earn $935K in 2013 after avoiding arbitration with the Mariners last month.
The Mariners have ten days to outright Kelley to the minor leagues, trade him or release him. It won't be surprising if he's claimed or traded given his 2012 numbers.

So you're going to DFA a bullpen pitcher going into the prime of his career (and is making below $1M). Great Jack. Great.

There were so many other players we could have DFA'd. This is a head scratcher. It actually really makes me mad.

Maybe he has a trade already set up for him. Who knows.

I just hope it doesn't affect his value.

He's a very solid bullpen arm. I'd much rather have him pitching than Kinney or someone of that sort.

If there's no trade, count this as another negative for Jack.
But, I highly doubt he's not traded

Agree, and agree. ^
I don't think there's any way that he isn't. Otherwise he is just out of his god damn mind.

Or he was just sent down to make room and comes back after they get a look at some of the relievers.
