Jamie Burke DFA'd Again

Found June 26, 2009 on MLB Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Jamie Burke,  Kenji Johjima,  Adam Moore
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners

According to Larry LaRue of the Seattle News Tribune, reserve Jamie Burke was designated for assignment by the Marines today to make room for Kenji Johjima. This marks the third time this season that the veteran catcher has been DFA'd. Says LaRue,Over the next 10 days, Burke, 37, will either be traded, claimed by another team or offered a minor league deal. LaRue writes, "He still wants to play, thinks he can still help a pitching staff, still do the small things a reserve is asked to do. Will he ever get another chance? That's uncertain, and he knows it. If he returns to the Seattle minor league system, he could be brought up in September - but the Mariners by then could want to look, instead, at Adam Moore."
