The tweet that caused some level of eyebrow-raising by some Mariners fans came from ESPN writer Jerry Crasnick:
Talked to some executives, and the #Brewers and #Mariners came up as potential fits for Matt Harvey. I heard they’ve inquired. But there are a lot of other starting options out there. https://t.co/Yohnkvw87s
Yes, for perhaps the second time this year, the Mariners and Jerry Dipoto have inquired about the availability of Matt Harvey. While certainly a name a lot of casual baseball fans will know, the question remains: “does he actually make Seattle better”?
