Mariners' Sam Travis: Inks minor-league deal

Travis signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Thursday.

Travis was let go by the Rangers in early September, but he'll land in Seattle on a minor-league deal. The Mariners haven't announced whether he'll receive an invitation to major-league spring training, although it wouldn't be surprising if he did. The 27-year-old spent time in the big leagues with the Red Sox from 2017 until 2019, hitting .230 with seven home runs and 24 RBI over 111 games.
