Royals designated RHP Brett Tomko for assignment.
Tomko met expectations for his teams once in 10 years before becoming a free agent yet again last winter, yet the Royals threw $3 million at him anyway and just handed him a rotation spot. The results were predictable. Tomko went 2-7 with a 6.97 ERA.
Could he return to the Mariners? I doubt it but could happen. I don't see a lot of teams working the phones to try and get this guy. He was just released from the Royals. Enough said.
