The Seattle Mariners sign Aaron Heilman
The Mariners have signed 33-year old righty reliever Aaron Heilman to a minor league deal. Heilman pitched in 32 games (0 starts) for the Diamondbacks last year and he was 4-1 with a 6.88 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP. He has now pitched in 477 games (25 starts) in his first 9 years in the majors and he is 35-46 with 16 saves, a 4.40 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Heilman will have a good shot of making the Mariners’ bullpen this spring.
