Gaby Sanchez: Released by Mariners
Sanchez was released by the Mariners on Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
The 32-year-old hit .250 through nine Cactus League games, but trailed Jesus Montero and Dae-Ho Lee for the backup first base position, leading to his release. The veteran hit .229/.293/.385 in his last MLB season (2014) and will now look for new team heading into the season.

Mariners' Gaby Sanchez: Long shot to win platoon job
Sanchez's opt-out clause in his contract is not triggered until a few months into the season, which probably puts him at a disadvantage in the competition for the right-handed platoon job at first base, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Sanchez is competing with Jesus Montero and Dae-Ho Lee, but Montero is out of options and Lee has a late-March opt-out clause. The team likely wouldn't risk losing both of them unless Sanchez really crushes it in spring training. Sanchez hit .291/.382/.481 against lefties in seven big-league seasons, but spent last year in Japan, where he batted only .226/.328/.392.
