The Seattle Mariners sign Jorge Sosa
The Mariners have signed 31-year old righty Jorge Sosa to a minor league contract. Every scout loves his arm but Sosa just has never really learned how to pitch in the majors. Sosa pitched in 20 games (0 starts) for the Mets this season and he was 4-1 with a 7.06 ERA and a 1.89 WHIP. Sosa had just been released by the Astros who were giving him a shot in AAA ball. Sosa has now pitched in 254 games (88 starts) in his major league career and he is 40-49 with 5 saves, a 4.67 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. He might get a chance to show what he can do in Seattle later in the year if a job opens up due to a trade or injury.
