Yesterday, the Seattle Mariners designated left-handed relief pitcher Zac Curtis for assignment. Should the Pittsburgh Pirates consider claiming him? Curtis is a 26-year-old pitcher who was a sixth round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft. The pitcher originally was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. However, the D’Backs dealt the lefty to the Mariners this past off-season. Curtis was the third piece, with Arizona also sending Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger, in their trade with Seattle for pitcher Taijuan Walker and infielder Ketel Marte.
Curtis was never given a real shot with the Mariners.
