Former beloved Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez has been DFA'd by the Seattle Mariners according to the latest report.
There has been a lot of moves lately involving former Blue Jays players as just a couple days ago, former pitcher Richard Lovelady was released by the Minnesota Twins after being DFA'd.

Tellez was DFA'd by the Mariners to make room on their roster for Luke Raley who was activated from IL after missing some time with an oblique injury.

While Tellez is not having a career year by any means, he is still putting up decent numbers as he has 11 homeruns and 26 RBIs to go along with a .208 batting average so far this season.
There is a good chance that Tellez will avoid free agency as another team will certainly take a chance on him with these numbers either through a trade or claiming him off waivers.
Should be interesting to see if the Blue Jays look to possibly bring him back to Toronto since he did have one of the best year's of his career back in 2019 with the Blue Jays when he hit 21 homeruns in 111 games.
