The Boston Red Sox had to participate in such activity this year, designating reliever Ryan Watson for assignment after announcing the Marcelo Mayer-Erik Miller trade. With Taylor Ward joining the team today, the Mariners have released outfielder Rob Refsnyder per MLB sourcesSeattle has also released catcher Mitch Garver. Besides González, who also has a history of crushing southpaws, the Red Sox have both Jahmai Jones and Eli White on their active roster. The bigger roadblock to a Refsnyder reunion is White, whom the team acquired for starting pitching prospect Tyler Uberstine. It was a bizarre deal that further depleted the team's pitching depth and added another body to the outfield logjam, though there is now more flexibility late in games.
