  • The Mariners acquired right-handed pitcher Justin Topa from the Brewers in exchange for minor leaguer Joseph Hernandez. Topa has only thrown 18.1 big league innings, but he has an excellent slider and a complimentary sinker. Mix in some Mariners bullpen magic and some good health and this could be a great move.
