Inbox: Will the Mariners add a lefty reliever?

Do you see the Mariners adding a second lefty reliever after Charlie Furbush?

One of the benefits of re-signing Hisashi Iwakuma was that it gives Seattle more rotation depth, and it also means left-hander Vidal Nuno can be viewed primarily as a relief candidate rather than as a potential starter. So if Furbush comes back at full strength after his shoulder issues last season, those two are the clear southpaw favorites in the 'pen. I wouldn't be surprised if the club adds another lefty to the mix, but likely another non-roster invitee like Brad Mills, who was signed to a Minor League deal last month.
