Mariners play long game, place good-hitting catcher on waivers for division rival to claim

Here’s what Scott Servais said in late September about Herrmann, when asked if he foresaw the 30-year-old catcher with the club next season:

“I think so,” Servais said on if Herrmann has done enough to earn a role next year. “Offensively he’s got power and we’ve seen that and saw that last night. He does a pretty good job of working counts and he’ll find a walk every once in a while which you need to do when you’re not playing every day. He’s always got a pretty good idea of the strike zone. Certainly I’m expecting him to be in the mix when we come back here.
