The often-turbulent career of Milton Bradley may have finally come to a dead end. The Seattle Mariners have designated the 33-year-old outfielder for assignment, meaning the team has 10 days to either trade or release him.
Milton Bradley has to be restrained by Mariners manager Eric Wedge as he argues a called third strike from umpire Mike Muchlinski during a game against the Chicago White Sox last Friday.

Bradley's 12 seasons in the majors have been marred by injuries, suspensions and clashes with his teammates, coaches, umpires and the media. Most recently he received a one-game ban after he was ejected for arguing with an umpire in an April 29 game in Boston.
Bradley's performance on the field this season made it that much easier for the Mariners to cut ties. He was hitting just .218 with two homers and 13 RBI in 101 at-bats.
He's in the final year of a three-year, $30 million contract that includes a salary of $12 million this season.
