This move was supposed to help the Mariners solidify the bullpen, but instead, it's helped cost the Mariners multiple games in the last three weeks.
The Seattle Mariners acquired reliever Yimi Garcia in a trade deadline deal with the Toronto Blue Jays that was universally praised. Garcia was among the best relievers available at the deadline, and the M's struck fast. He was supposed to help solidify the back-end of the M's bullpen but thus far, it just hasn't worked out.
Last week against the Detroit Tigers, he was brought into a 2-0 game and promptly got two outs. He then walked a man and gave up a two-run homer that tied the game in the eighth inning. The Mariners eventually lost in 10 innings.
