SEATTLE -- The Mariners designated Bret Boone for assignment Sunday
morning, effectively severing ties with the most productive second
baseman in franchise history.

The 36-year-old Boone, a three-time All-Star, has struggled this season,
batting .231 with seven home runs and 34 RBIs in 74 games.

He entered the final year of his four-year contract with a .268 career
average, 245 home runs and 984 RBIs.

He led the American League with 141 RBIs, while hitting 37 homers and
batting .331, in 2001, after signing with the Mariners as a free agent
during the previous offseason.

Besides designating Boone for assignment, the Mariners promoted second
baseman Jose Lopez and outfielder Chris Snelling from Triple-A Tacoma and
placed Dave Hansen on the 15-day disabled list because of elbow tendinitis.

The organization has 10 days to trade, release or assign Boone, who has
slightly more than half of $9.25 million remaining on his contract, to
the Minor Leagues.
