Ty France, first baseman for the Seattle Mariners, took some time before a game on Monday to comment on the team's decision on Sunday to place him on irrevocable outright waivers.
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners created some shock waves throughout the organization when they placed first baseman and 2022 All-Star Ty France on irrevocable outright waivers on Sunday.
"Just kind of treating as a regular day," France said. "Still on the active roster so I can play tonight. Just going about my work. That's it. See what happens. ... a little caught off guard. I understand at the end of the day it's a business and I'm not performing to the best of my abilities so anything could happen."
"It's definitely been a weird, hard day," France said. "At the end of the day we're all professionals and understand at the end of the day it's a business. And they're citing that this was best for the Seattle Mariners moving forward. And that doesn't make it any easier. But it's a really good group of guy in there. And I'm very appreciative and grateful for every single one of those guys.
The Mariners on Monday optioned infielder Ryan Bliss to Triple-A Tacoma and called up infielder/utility player Jason Vosler.
