ARLINGTON, Texas — The continued search for relievers who might help the Mariners this season and moving forward has resulted in another trade.
Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto finalized a deal Monday morning to acquire left-handed pitcher Jesse Biddle and right-hander Arodys Vizcaino from Atlanta in exchange for right-handed pitcher Anthony Swarzak and cash considerations.
Biddle will report immediately to the Mariners, who open a three-game series vs. the Rangers on Monday. Vizcaino is currently on the 60-day injured list after undergoing right shoulder surgery April 17.
Biddle, 27, is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 15 appearances.
