Mariners signed LHP Joe Beimel to a minor league contract. The deal includes an invitation to spring training. The 36-year-old southpaw is now fully recovered from Tommy John surgery and has reportedly regained his velocity. He hasn't appeared in the major leagues since he was a member of the Pirates in 2011 and spent the 2013 season at Triple-A Gwinnett where he posted a 4.36 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 24/16 K/BB ratio in 33 innings.
