Seattle first baseman Ty France was surprised to find out Monday he had been put on waivers by the Mariners.
The Mariners placed France on irrevocable outright waivers Sunday. The 30-year-old is in the midst of a tough season at the plate, hitting .223 with eight home runs and 31 RBIs in 88 games. He has a .312 on-base percentage and a slugging percentage of .350."A little caught off guard," France said before Seattle's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. "But I mean, I understand at the end of the day, it's a business.
At that point, the Mariners would pay the remainder of his salary, and a team that picks him up could pay him the pro-rated major league minimum.France was an offensive standout for several seasons after coming to Seattle from San Diego in a 2020 midseason trade. He was an All-Star in 2022, a season in which he hit .274 with 20 homers and 83 RBI. But, France has struggled to replicate that production the last two seasons and finds himself with an uncertain future.
