After back-to-back seasons of 19 home runs in 2010 and 2011, veteran infielder Gaby Sanchez only hit 21 total in the next three seasons. Sanchez was trying to make a comeback with the Mariners this spring but was a casualty of first cuts. He will try to catch on with another team but with declining power and limited versatility of the corner infield spots, Sanchez may have a difficult time catching on with another team.

Sanchez spent all of last season struggling to make it in Japanese baseball. He'll return home and hopefully can find his way into a better role than just as organizational depth. The Mariners don't have any world-beaters at first with Adam Lind and Jesus Montero leading the charge, so perhaps a strong spring bumps him up the ladder a bit.

Sanchez has been a platoon player for the last three seasons and there was little to no hope of him getting himself a larger slice of the pie. We wish him nothing but the best in Japan, but for the sake of the fantasy game, we\'ll simply say goodbye.
