Seattle Mariners Free Agency Profiles: Santiago Casilla
The Mariners need help with middle relief, one of their weakest aspects in 2018. The eighth and ninth inning guys are there but a reliable seventh-inning man is key. Sam Tuivailala could be the future one but he’s only 25 and he won’t be 100% for a while coming off a torn Achilles.
The other two middle relief pickups the Mariners acquired disappointed in Adam Warren and Zach Duke. Maybe the team keeps Duke just to have a southpaw in the ‘pen but it may be time to let Warren walk. If the Yankees trade you away while age 31 and well in your prime, something’s up. With 27 titles, the Yanks are probably a safe bet for good judges of talent.
