The Seattle Mariners are still in Peoria, Arizona. At least, most of them are. But while we continue to wait out the worst of the Coronavirus shut down, teams are still free to make roster moves, at least for now. The Washington Nationals did just that today, cutting former Mariners closer Hunter Strickland.
Strickland, who was traded to the Nationals on July 31st, 2019, served as the Mariners closer for 3 games before a shoulder injury in the 5th game of the season essentially ended his tenure with Seattle. Strickland would appear in just one more game for Seattle before he was traded to the Nationals along with Roenis Elias for Taylor Guilbeau, Aaron Fletcher, and Elvis Alverado.
