On Monday afternoon, the Mariners formally announced that they have reached agreement with reliever Steve Cishek on a two-year deal. The pact, reportedly worth $10MM combined between 2016 and 2017, will help replenish a bullpen that has lost former temporary closers Tom Wilhelmsen, Carson Smith, and Danny Farquhar. On a conference call with reporters just minutes ago, GM Jerry Dipoto confirmed that Cishek will be the Mariners’ closer in 2016. For Cishek, that was pivotal as he shopped the open market. I asked the veteran if he had other offers to pitch in the ninth inning.
