Charlie Furbush: Declines outright assignment Friday

Furbush (shoulder) elected free agency Friday, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Furbush was outrighted to Triple-A on Wednesday, but given his recent success in the major leagues, he decided to test the market for a major league deal. His most recent stint in the Mariners bullpen resulted in a 2.08 ERA and a 3.4 K/BB, so he very well could land a major league deal with a team willing to help him complete his rehab process from the rotator cuff surgery he underwent in August.
