Jerry Dipoto made his first player acquisition as General Manager of the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Adam Lewis of the Seattle PI is reporting that the M’s have claimed right-handed pitcher Cody Martin and released veteran reliever Logan Kensing. Martin will take Kensing’s spot on the Mariners’ 40-man roster.
It is a homecoming of sorts for Cody Martin. The 26-year-old played his college ball in Spokane, WA with the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Martin grew up in California, but I’m sure he is happy to be heading back to the Pacific Northwest.
