Mariner Transactions

Saw this on the Mariner site this morning. A few ex-Rattlers to the 40-man roster and one claimed by the Braves.
Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Jack Zduriencik announced today that the club has made seven transactions affecting the 40-man roster. RHP Stephen Kahn, RHP Gabby Hernandez, RHP Marwin Vega and OF Greg Halman have been added to the 40-man roster. RHP Luis Munoz and RHP Tracy Thorpe have cleared waivers and been outrighted to the minor leagues. LHP Eric O'Flaherty has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves
Ex-Rattlers have been bolded above.

The O'Flaherty transaction is also covered at the Braves site.
The Braves are hoping O'Flaherty can regain the form he displayed in 2007, when he went 7-1 with a 4.47 ERA in 56 appearances for Seattle. All indications are that he'll be healthy for the start of Spring Training, when he may be able to compete for a job as Atlanta's left-handed specialist.
Rafael Soriano ('00) is also on the 40-man roster of the Braves.
