The Baltimore Orioles are reportedly listening to offers on right-handed reliever Mychal Givens. Given the state of the Mariners bullpen, it may be prudent of Seattle GM Jerry Dipoto to aggressively pursue this opportunity.
What makes Givens a good fit for Seattle? Well, let’s start with the obvious: The Mariners bullpen isn’t very good. Of course, there are a few good arms in it and Roenis Elias, Brandon Brennan, and Connor Sadzeck look like good finds. Anthony Swarzak has been up and down, but for the most part, pretty good.
