While the Mariners, as expected, weren’t able to get any of the big names from the Angels’ bonanza of waiver wire releases, they didn’t come away totally empty-handed, picking up reliever Dominic Leone off waivers. The 31-year-old is no stranger to moving clubhouses, as the Mariners will be his third team this season alone, and his eighth organization—although this is also a full-circle move for Leone, who was originally drafted by the Mariners way back in 2012 and made his MLB debut in 2014 with the club.
Like many relievers, Leone has scraped out a lengthy MLB career by the twin virtues of being healthy and mostly effective over a near decade of service.
