SEATTLE -- Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto continued adding to his club's pitching depth for Spring Training by signing lefty relief specialist Nick Hagadone on Tuesday to a Minor League deal with an invitation to Major League camp.
The club is also expected to add right-handed reliever Jean Machi to a similar deal before pitchers and catchers report to Peoria, Ariz., on Feb. 14, though that contract hasn't been finalized yet, as Machi hasn't completed his physical exam.
Hagadone, a native of Sumner, Wash., spent five seasons in the Majors with the Indians, but he missed all of 2016 while recovering from surgery to repair a fractured left elbow.
