Mariners OF Leody Taveras elected free agency.

Taveras failed to capitalize on a fresh start with Seattle after being claimed off waivers from the division-rival Rangers, batting .174/.198/.272 with two homers and three steals in 28 games. The 27-year-old former top prospect should be able to latch on somewhere this offseason as a low-risk reclamation project, but he’s been a non-factor at the dish in the big leagues for a couple seasons at this stage of his career.
