The other two middle relief pickups the Mariners acquired disappointed in Adam Warren and Zach Duke. Maybe the team keeps Duke just to have a southpaw in the ‘pen but it may be time to let Warren walk. If the Yankees trade you away while age 31 and well in your prime, something’s up. With 27 titles, the Yanks are probably a safe bet for good judges of talent.
To replace Warren, the Mariners should haul in veteran Santiago Casilla to pitch for his first ever team not based in Northern California.
