These two signings might seem minor to some -no pun intended- but let’s look at the major potential contributions if the M’s get the best out of both players.
Micah Owings
It may seem unlikely that Owings -who hasn’t played in the majors since 2012- could be a resourceful piece of the Mariners rotation. But, if he’s fully healthy, Owings has the ability to be a solid addition late in the rotation. If he gets the call up of course.
Let’s remember, in his first season in the big leagues, Owings had a complete game, two-hit shutout.
