The San Francisco Giants made a trade with the Seattle Mariners for a minor league pitcher, who was NOT the PTBNL for the Chris Heston trade.
Herb was a 29th round draft pick for the Seattle Mariners in 2014. The 6’2″ righty is a native of Harrisburg, PA and spent his college time at Coastal Carolina University. Herb had a difficult time in his rookie season with the Clinton LumberKings, the Full Season A level affiliate for the Mariners.
In an interview with Today’s Knuckleball, he admitted he was majorly unprepared.
“Honestly, last year I knew I had a terrible season,” Herb told me sheepishly.
