The Seattle
Mariners added right-hander Keynan Middleton on a one-year
free-agent deal Wednesday, while outfielder Phil Ervin was
designated for assignment.
Middleton, 27, was signed for $800,000, MLB Network reported. He
had a 5.25 ERA over 12 innings in 13 appearances for the Los
Angeles Angels last season. In four seasons with the Angels, he
was 6-2 with a 3.48 ERA over 104 relief appearances.
Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto was the Angels' GM when
Middleton was a third-round draft pick by the Los Angeles in
2013.
Ervin, 28, batted .205 with four RBIs in 18 games for the
Mariners last season. In four seasons with the Cincinnati Reds
and Mariners he has batted .247 with 17 home runs and 68 RBIs in
237 games.
