The Mariners, like most teams in baseball, need pitching help in 2020. With multiple holes in the starting rotation, the team will have to get creative to fill the gaps until the prospects like Logan Gilbert and Justin Dunn deem themselves ready.
General Manager Jerry Dipoto has already stated that he doesn’t see the team shopping at the top of the market, but two former Mariners could provide depth to the rotation without breaking the bank or requiring long term contracts that would limit what the team does moving forward.
Both of these pitchers come with question marks, but the Mariners will need to sign at least one of these types of pitchers for next year.
