The Seattle Mariners traded minor league catcher Jair Fernandez to Minnesota in exchange for the Twins rejecting Seattle’s offer to return Rule 5 draftee R.A. Dickey.
Seattle then optioned Dickey, a former University of Tennessee pitcher, to Class AAA Tacoma in a surprising move. The knuckleballer and former No. 1 draft choice of Texas, who hasn’t pitched in the major leagues in 23 months, was a spring revelation with a 2.25 ERA, only one home run allowed in 20 innings and the versatility to pitch in a variety of roles.
