Felix Hernández Pitches Seattle Home Onto the Market
Jeff Vasishta Newly affiliated with the Atlanta Braves, pitcher Felix Hernández, formerly of the Seattle Mariners, has thrown a $7.8 million pricetag on his stunning mansion in the wealthy Seattle, Wash., suburb of Clyde Hill. Tax records suggest Hernández acquired the half-acre property in 2013 for $1.4 million and tore down a ho-hum existing residence, replacing it with this much more luxurious and contemporary affair.The 34-year-old thrower’s career has been on the wane in recent years, with the move to Atlanta on a pay-to-play contract was seen as a last gasp shot at a resurrection, and presumably prompted the effort to sell his roughly 7,100-square-foot Pacific Northwest spread.
