SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have bolstered their bullpen by acquiring right-handed reliever Rafael Montero from the Texas Rangers.
Montero was the Rangers closer for most of last season. Montero appeared in 17 games and was 8-for-8 in save situations with a 4.08 ERA.
Seattle sent 17-year-old right-handed pitching prospect José Corniell and a player to be named to the Rangers for Montero.
