After several days of limbo, the Mariners have made the signing of RHP Chris Flexen official, as a two year deal with a team option for a third. In the process, they’ve designated UTIL Tim Lopes for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot. Flexen projects as one of Seattle’s six starting pitchers for 2021, with the club hoping the 26 year old slots right in and thrives after a series of adjustments in the Korean Baseball Organization helped him dominate for the Doosan Bears. Michael Ajeto wrote him up when he was acquired, so you should refer to his article for specifics on what Flexen brings to Seattle.
