If Carl Edwards Jr. can harness his mid 90s fastball, re-find a command that disappeared in 2019 and re-establish some confidence in himself as a reliever, the Mariners may have picked up a key late-innings reliever and a potential trade chip in July.
MLB sources confirmed general manager Jerry Dipoto finalized his second free agent acquisition in as many days, signing the veteran right-handed reliever to a one-year, $950,000 contract.
With the signing of Edwards, the Mariners 40-man roster now sits at 38 players.
Edwards is coming off a frustrating 2019 season where he battled injuries and inconsistency.
