Mariners General Manager Jerry Dipoto announced today that the club has signed left-handed pitcher Nick Hagadone to a minor league contract. Hagadone has also been invited to Major League Spring Training.
With today’s signing, the Mariners Major League, 40-man, roster remains full. Seattle now has 23 players invited to Spring Training. (The 63 players currently includes both Jonathon Aro and Jesus Sucre, who were designated for assignment last week).
Hagadone, 31, spent 2016 rehabilitating after undergoing surgery in February for a fractured left elbow.
He pitched with Cleveland in 2015, appearing in 36 games in relief and compiling a 0–1 record prior to being placed on the 15-day disabled list on July 8 with lower back and elbow soreness.
