Now, as we come to the end of the 2019 Mariners season, we also are nearing the end of the line for Felix Hernandez in a Mariners uniform.

Like a snowball effect, Felix was never able to find his footing and has since suffered countless injuries. In a world of “What have you done for me lately”, Felix has seemingly become a liability in the Mariners rotation.
