Mariners Acquire C Omar Narváez, trade Álex Colomé to White Sox
Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY SportsWith all eyes on the Mariners Friday in anticipation of the club announcing one of the biggest trades (the biggest?) of the Jerry Dipoto era, the Mariners announced a deal jettisoning an all-star closer. No, not that one.
The hole at the catcher’s position has been an object of concern since Mike Zunino was dealt to Tampa Bay earlier this month, and rather than dipping into the free agent market to sign a one year stopgap, Jerry opted to go get the catcher we’ll likely see manning the position for years to come.
