taylor williams designated for assignment; claimed by mariners

We’re talking about the 40th man on the roster, not much separation in terms of talent. It’s Likely the decision was simple as Williams is a hold over from the last regime, and Stearns prefers the guys he has added to the 40 man over ones he inherited.

 

Or that they can outright him to the minors. His results have been pretty poor. His stuff is good. I don't think I've ever heard of Stearns having something against the prior regime's acquisitions.

They can't outright hin without giving the rest of the league a chance to pick him up first.

I wouldn't imagine there will be a ton of interest in Williams, but then again, I never thought guys like Deolis Guerra and Jacob Barnes would be claimed either. That just shows you how bad most teams' bullpen depth is. It did surprise me that Faria wasn't claimed, though.

 

But yes, Williams doesn't have enough service time to refuse a minor league assignment should be clear waivers. That could be one of the reasons why he was chosen.
