Mariners signed LHP Joe Saunders to a one-year, $6.5 million contract. The southpaw could make an additional $1 million through incentives. Saunders posted a 4.07 ERA and 112/39 K/BB ratio over 174 2/3 innings last season between the Diamondbacks and Orioles. The fences coming in at Safeco won't help him, but he should continue to be a solid back-end starter with Seattle.
