In Mariners news...
- Right fielder Kole Calhoun’s departure from the team concludes a series of roster moves from yesterday, including the reassignment of RHP Riley O’Brien and LHP Tommy Milone to minor league camp.
Kole Calhoun's locker was cleaned out and he was saying some goodbyes. With his service time, he had to be notified five days before the season if he would make the team. If he wasn't, he could be released from his minor league contract upon request. Lots of roster moves today
