The most noteworthy Mariners move of the day was, surprise, another Jerry Dipoto trade. This time Dipoto acquired hard-throwing right-handed pitcher Austin Adams from the Washington Nationals in exchange for minor league pitcher Nick Wells.
The move was hardly surprising, as Dipoto constantly been trying to add to his bullpen all season long. In the first 6 weeks of the year, he has already added Connor Sadzeck and Mike Wright, making Adams the third reliever with MLB experience acquired by Dipoto this year.
Adams will start his Mariners journey in AAA Tacoma.
