Seattle Mariners Option Catcher Jesus Montero To Tacoma
The Seattle Mariners have optioned catcher Jesus Montero to their Triple-A Tacoma minor league affiliate. Montero, who was expected to play a solid role with the club this season, has struggled to a .208 batting average over 29 games.

Jesus Montero sent to AAA, no longer viewed as MLB caliber catcher
Yesterday I wrote an article expressing my appreciation for New York Yankees GM, Brian Cashman. Dealing with loads of taxes, inflated expectations, and emotional ownership is not easy and as hard as it is for anyone in New York to be underrated, I think he has become just that.
In yesterday’s article I lamented the Jesus Montero/Michael Pineda trade as one of his few mistakes,...

What Does Jesus Montero’s Future Look Like Now?
The Mariners stuck with it for 735 innings. Despite the fact that nearly everyone in baseball agreed that Jesus Montero could not catch at an acceptable level in the Major Leagues, the Mariners let him try for the equivalent of a half season spread out over eight painful months. Now, it seems like the organization is accepting the reality that Jesus Montero is not, and will never...
Seattle Mariners demote Jesus Montero
New York Yankees fans were pitching a fit over a year ago when Brian Cashman traded away star hitting prospect Jesus Montero to the Seattle Mariners for starting pitcher Michael Pineda. They really became pissed when Pineda showed up fat and out-of-shape to Spring Training, and then subsequently injured his shoulder, costing him the entire 2012 season. Yankees fans envisioned Montero...

Seattle Mariners continue to struggle with White Sox
In all of Major League Baseball, only two teams played seven games in the first seven days of the season: the Oakland A’s and the Seattle Mariners. And, unlike the A’s, the Mariners played all seven on the road. So, after this quirk, where did the Mariners stand after a trip to Chicago? The Mariners won Friday in extra innings, and then followed that with some heartbreak...
Mariners have indirectly helped Jesus Montero become hitter Seattle needs
The season no one expects
Seattle may not know the best fit for Jesus Montero, whether it is behind the plate catching, or as the Edgar Martinez (DH) of this Mariners team. One thing the Mariners can count on is the 23-year-old’s bat in the lineup.
No, Montero did not have the year everyone expected after his guest appearance with the Yankees in 2011 (4 HR’s and .328 BA in 69...
