The Kansas City T-Bones have announced the signing of Trevor Coleman, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound catcher from Dripping Springs, Texas.

The Seattle Mariners drafted Coleman in the ninth round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft. He spent parts of four seasons (2009-12) in the Mariners organization, mainly at the A level. Last year he played three games for class-AAA Tacoma in the Pacific Coast League. During his time with the Seattle organization (216 games), Coleman batted .231 with 166 hits and 99 runs batted in. He played five games this year at High Desert, the Mariners’ high-A club.
Matt Stites, currently with the Fort Wayne Tin Caps, was put on the disabled list yesterday.
