selected right-handed pitcher Chris Clarke from the Chicago Cubs organization in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.
The Rule 5 Draft is a mechanism that allows minor league players stuck behind established major-leaguers in their organization a chance to find an opportunity with a new team. Any player picked in the major league portion of the Rule 5 Draft must be a part of the team's MLB roster the entirety of the following season or he is returned to the organization from which he was drafted.
With a starting rotation mostly set and little chance of breaking into the Mariners' pitching staff as a starter, Seattle is likely viewing Clarke as a relief pitcher heading into spring training. In the minor league portion of the draft, the Mariners added infielder/outfielder Francisco Tostado from the San Francisco Giants in the first round, and infielder/outfielder Logan Warmoth in the second round from the Blue Jays.
