Mariners sign reliever Ryan Cook to one-year deal
Right-handed reliever Ryan Cook, a 2012 American League All-Star who endured a rough season last year with the A’s and Red Sox, became the latest “bounce-back” candidate signed by the Mariners.
Cook, a 28-year-old free agent, signed a one-year Major League deal on Thursday. The Mariners had an open spot on their 40-man roster after releasing right-hander Anthony Bass so he can sign with a Japanese team earlier in the day. Jon Heyman of the MLB Network reports the deal is for $1.1 million.
