Eric Byrnes Is Seattle-Bound

It should be noted that, despite the pickup, Byrnes is not guaranteed a spot on the team. He will compete with other options in Spring Training and break camp only if he shows that he’s healthy and capable of making a contribution. Because the M’s won’t be on the hook for much money, they have no reason to hang on to Byrnes if , when they see him, they determine that he’s a lost cause.
