SANTA CLARA Jachai Polite Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Mark Nzeocha to a three-year contract and released defensive end Cassius Marsh.The Niners also agreed to a deal with restricted free agent running back Raheem Mostert on Friday. Mostert’s agent Brett Tessler says his client will sign a three-year deal.Marsh was one of the team’s top edge rushers last year with 5½ sacks but became expendable after the team traded for Dee Ford this week and gave him a new five-year contract.Nzeocha has played in 26 games the past two seasons and has been a standout on special teams. He started three games last year at linebacker and provides depth at the position.Mostert is one of San Francisco’s top special teams players and also ran for 261 yards on 34 carries last season.Safety Antone Exum also signed a one-year deal he had agreed to earlier this week. Seattle manager Scott Servais kept up the ruse on Friday night, denying that he saw Ichiro Suzuki in disguise in the Mariners dugout at Yankee Stadium.

And he mostly kept a straight face as he said it.

In a performance almost as transparent as the fake mustache and hoodie the former outfielder wore when he crashed the team’s bench, Servais said before Friday night’s game against the Red Sox, ”I’ve got to keep a closer eye on my dugout.”

”Mustaches? I don’t know anybody that’s got a mustache,” Servais told chuckling reporters at Fenway Park a day after Suzuki was caught by an Associated Press photographer where he wasn’t supposed to be. ”I don’t know who that is Chuma Edoga Jersey , but will definitely keep an eye out today.”

Suzuki, who is now in the Mariners front office, stretched with the team on Friday night and took batting practice before the series opener against the Red Sox. According to Major League Baseball rules, he isn’t allowed to be in the dugout during games.

The 44-year-old outfielder declined to comment when approached by the AP before Friday’s matchup.

Major League Baseball isn’t expected to impose any discipline, given Suzuki’s stature in the game and the fact that his prank was playful and harmless.

The disguise was reminiscent of New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine Trevon Wesco Jersey , who returned to the dugout in sunglasses and a fake mustache after he was ejected from a 1999 game. Valentine, who also managed the Red Sox, was suspended for two games and fined $5,000.

Suzuki usually spends the games in the clubhouse, but AP photographer Bill Kostroun spotted him with his face nearly covered by a fake mustache Shareef Miller Jersey , sunglasses and a gray hoodie drawn tight over his head during in the first inning as the Yankees hit a pair of two-run homers.

He was gone by the second inning.

”Crazy,” Servais said. ”Security is really tough in New York. So, surprised somebody slipped in.”

Suzuki had 3,089 hits in the major leagues before coming off the Seattle roster in early May, when he moved into the team’s front office as a special assistant to the chairman. The 10-time All-Star hasn’t officially retired Zach Brown Jersey , and there’s speculation he might play when the Mariners open the 2019 season in Tokyo.
