Corey Patterson Opts Out

Quote:
According to Kirby Arnold of the Everett Herald, Corey Patterson has opted out of his contract with the Mariners and is now a free agent. Arnold writes that with Eric Byrnes looking to have won the M's backup outfield spot, Patterson decided to look elsewhere for employment.

Patterson signed a minor-league deal with Seattle last December.

Managers better keep their daughters locked up.

Maybe he and Willy Taveras can open a bakery.

Re: Corey Patterson Opts Out

Should Corey really be opting out of teams at this point?

I'm so proud of the Reds this off season. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop, but they never made the deal that made me want to pull the trigger. First time in several years. In fact, I think they had a pretty solid winter.

Any sentence with Corey Patterson, and 'out' says it all.

Someone hide this news from the entire Reds managerial and front office staff.
