Tacoma's elimination last night freed up a couple current prospects and one former one, so Adam Moore, Matt Tuiasosopo, and Garrett Olson are on their way to join the Mariners. Neither Moore nor Tui are expected to play a whole lot - Moore's a third stringer and Tui will ironically be used as a defensive replacement - but these call-ups are as much about experiencing the environment as experiencing game action, so both of them should benefit. Also, Olson.

To make room for Moore on the 40-man roster, the M's are cutting ties with Stephen Kahn. You might remember Stephen Kahn for throwing one inning in the last three years. It was a bad inning.
