January 29, 2010 Eric Byrnes has signed a one-year deal with the Mariners, according to Jon Morosi's (FOX Sports) twitter page. Financial terms were not disclosed. Our View:Byrnes will compete for a role in Seattle's outfield in spring training, but his power potential could be sapped by playing his home games at pitcher-friendly Safeco. He has a hard time staying healthy as well. |

January 20, 2010 Five days after being designated for assignment, Eric Byrnes was released by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Our View:And so ends one of the most disastrous tenures between a player and a club in recent history. Arizona is still on the hook for Byrnes' $11 million 2010 salary, so expcet many clubs to be willing to take a flier on him for the veteran's minimum. At best, he will be someone's fourth outfielder. |

January 17, 2010 Eric Byrnes would like to play in San Francisco in 2010, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Our View:The recently released former star says the Giants would be his "best fit." That being said, San Francisco already has an entire roster full of aging, injury prone players, and even for the veteran's minimum, might not be willing to take a chance on Byrnes. |

January 15, 2010 Eric Byrnes has been designated for assignment, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. The move was made to clear a roster spot for the recently signed Adam LaRoche. Our View:How the once sort of mighty have fallen. If Byrnes goes unclaimed on waivers, a distinct possibility considering he's due $11 million in 2010, he'll either end up in the minors or as a free agent. He could even end up where he seems most comfortable: in front of a T.V. camera. Stay tuned. |

January 14, 2010 According to Nick Piecoro on Twitter, the Diamondbacks are contemplating releasing outfielder Eric Byrnes now that the Adam LaRoche signing is official. Our View:The D-Backs need to make a roster move to clear room for LaRoche, and the injury plagued, expensive Byrnes isn't a bad choice. He's owed $11 million this season, the final year of a three-year deal he signed in August of 2007. Don't expect anyone to snatch him up unless the D-Backs are willing to eat a significant chunk of his salary. |
