In Cortes Jr., the Mariners land a left-hander who turns 25 next month. He appeared in 33 games with the Yankees in '19 and even made one start, so his versatility should continue to be key to his MLB prospects with the Mariners.

The Yankees recently designated Cortes Jr. for assignment, so they were obviously ready to move on. In return, New York received a little extra bonus pool money for future international signings (which is always a Yankees priority).

There is nothing to see here, as Cortes Jr. will mainly serve a depth role on Seattle's pitching staff in 2020 (if he makes the team).
