The Seattle Mariners dealt Joaquin Benoit to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night in exchange for Drew Storen and cash considerations. The Mariners announced the trade via twitter.
Storen has struggled mightily in his first season with the Blue Jays, and was recently designated for assignment. He heads to the Emerald City having gone 1-3 while posting a dismal 6.21 ERA across 38 appearances in 2016. He has registered a 32:10 strikeout to walk ratio through 33.1 innings pitched. Storen’s biggest issue this year has been allowing 11.6 hits per 9 innings and 1.
