Gamers have the appropriate to reject an outright project and elect free company if they’ve both a earlier profession outright or no less than three years of main league service time. Neither applies to Danner, so he’ll follow the Mariners as depth however with out taking on a roster spot.
The M’s are probably glad about that. They have been intrigued sufficient by Danner to seize him off waivers from the Blue Jays in January. His observe file isn’t lengthy, for a number of causes.
