Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:55 pm

The Seattle Mariners have agreed upon a two-year, $10 million deal with Steve Cishek to become their new closer.

Cishek's agreement includes incentives for games finished that could increase his overall payout to $17 million.

Cishek, 29, is 17-20 with a 2.82 ERA in 311 career big-league appearances. He saved 34 and 39 games with the Miami Marlins in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Cishek joins the recently acquired Joaquin Benoit in a revamped back end of the bullpen for the Mariners.
