The Seattle Mariners just can’t help themselves when it comes to turning raw arms into polished gems. After trading away four pitching prospects at the deadline, it looked like the farm system might be getting a little (wait for it…) short on arms. But then came Christian Little — see what we did there? Mariners fans know the drill by now: just when it seems like the depth might take a hit, another intriguing name rises to the surface.
Yes, the name practically begs for wordplay, but don’t let it fool you — there’s nothing small about Little or his upside.
