It’s been about a month or so since a Jerry Dipoto interview dropped a most intriguing nugget of information: that the M’s considered promoting AA SP pitching prospect Matt Brash to the Mariners bullpen for the close of the season. With Brash’s season winding down and with some of the M’s bullpen arms looking a little tired, you could see the thinking. Brash has mid to high-90s velo, and the kind of break on his slider (and two-seamer) that instantly goes viral on social media. You can debate his future value vis a vis George Kirby, but you can’t debate the fact that it’s…intriguing to imagine what Brash could do in shorter stints in the majors.
