Getting into August and September, a team can never have too much pitching. I’m not sure how much more value Smith will add to the bullpen, but the added depth certainly wouldn’t hurt.
With the trade deadline fast approaching, teams all around the MLB will be wheeling and dealing as they decide whether or not they are buyers or sellers. The Mariners are right about on the line and hopefully Jerry Dipoto decides to buy.
After acquiring reliever Drew Storen earlier in the week, the Mariners are now eyeing Angels reliever Joe Smith.
