We actually posted this question on Twitter (@sodomojo) and got a variety of responses. From my rough estimate, Mariners fans were split 50-50 between the possibility of Matt Harvey and the Mariners. In cases like this, it is often helpful to look at the pro’s and con’s from both sides. Let’s take a look.
Pro Matt Harvey Argument
First and foremost, the Mariners have a need for pitching. Jerry Dipoto so strongly distrusts his current farm system that he and Scott Servais are using Wade LeBlanc as it’s 5th starter. Harvey could help bring upside to the back-end of the rotation.
