The Seattle Mariners, in need of help in the bullpen, won't be calling on top prospect Logan Evans. After moving to a relief role at Double-A Arkansas in an effort to help the major league club, Evans is going back to starting.
The Seattle Mariners are not going to be bringing top pitching prospect Logan Evans up to help the major league bullpen. Evans is currently pitching at Double-A Arkansas.
“When we did get it , it came at the expense of command,” said assistant general manager Andy McKay. “This kid’s telling us he’s a starter. It’s just who he is.”have made this move before with rousing success, so there was optimism that it would work with Evans. The team previously turned Edwin Diaz into an All-Star closer and also turned Matt Brash into a dynamite reliever. They also turned Prelander Berroa into a reliever, but he was traded to the Chicago White Sox this past offseason.
He's 8-2 for the season with a 2.17 ERA. He's worked 62.1 innings on the year so at the very least, the relief experiment has helped keep his overall workload down for the year. He threw only 15.0 innings a season ago.
