With the (still confounding) departure of James Pazos in the Segura trade, the Mariners needed a lefty in the ‘pen, and today have signed that lefty in Zac Rosscup, a 30-year-old who has been a member of four (now five) different MLB organizations, been in pro ball for almost a decade, and yet has never pitched over ~50 innings in one season, partially because hashtag-LOOGYLYFE, and partially because of injuries.
Injuries have been a significant problem for Rosscup, who missed a chunk of time with injury in 2011, 2014, and 2015.
