Mariners should pursue newly minted free agent Danny Salazar

All across MLB, teams were busy exercising options, slapping qualifying offers on players and clearing 40 man roster spots in what is basically the pregame warm-up for the hot stove season. The Mariners did most of their warm-up a few days ago, but a new crop of free agents has hit the market and there are some interesting names now available.

Perhaps no name piqued my interest more than now-former Cleveland Indians pitcher, Danny Salazar. A 2016 All-Star selection, the right-handed pitcher who turns 30-years-old in January, was outrighted off Cleveland’s 40-man roster yesterday. He refused his assignment to AAA, becoming an unrestricted free agent this winter.
