Mariners signed INF/OF Alen Hanson to a minor league deal.
The 28-year-old signed a minor league contract with the Mariners in 2020 but did play due to the canceled season. In 2019 Hanson batted .163 over 43 at-bats at the major league level and .187 over 166 at-bats with Triple-A Buffalo.
Hanson signed with the Mariners as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Hanson played 18 games with the Blue Jays in 2019 before being released in August, hitting .163/.229/.163 with five runs scored and four RBI in 48 plate appearances. The 27-year-old second baseman will join his fifth major-league team and head to spring training to work with Seattle's coaching staff before likely returning to the minors to begin the year.
Hanson was released by the Blue Jays on Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Hanson hasn't been able to find his stroke at the plate in 2019, slashing .187/.232/.271 with three homers and 18 RBI through 48 games with Triple-A Buffalo. He'll head to the open market as a result of his poor performance.
Hanson cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Hanson did very little of note in his 18 games with the Blue Jays, hitting .163/.229/.163. Now that he's off the 40-man roster, he's one step further from returning to the big leagues.
