M's release Vidro

3:25 PM Wed, Aug 13, 2008 |

I guess there were no takers for DH Jose Vidro. The Mariners make it official and release him today. Now anyone can sign him and the M's still have to pay what they owe on his contract. The official press release is after the jump.


MARINERS RELEASE DESIGNATED HITTER JOSE VIDRO Vidro was Designated for Assignment on August 5.

SEATTLE, Wash. -- Seattle Mariners Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Lee Pelekoudas announced today that the Mariners have placed designated hitter Jose Vidro on irrevocable waivers for the purpose of granting him his unconditional release. Vidro had been designated for assignment on August 5 when Wladimir Balentien was recalled from AAA Tacoma.

Vidro, 33 (turns 34 Aug. 27), batted .234 (72x308) with 11 doubles, 7 home runs and 45 RBI in 85 games with Seattle this season. Acquired prior to the 2007 season from Washington, Vidro combined to hit .285 (244x856) with 13 home runs and 104 RBI in 232 games as a Mariner.
