Here’s what people were saying about the deal:
@CPat11: “Mariners taking a second crack at Carson Fulmer”
Colin Beazley: “The Pirates have traded RHP Carson Fulmer to the Seattle Mariners. Fulmer has a 6.35 ERA in 16 appearances (34 innings) at Triple-A Indianapolis. Other Indy news includes that RHP Derek Diamond and INF Keiner Delgado have also been promoted from Double-A to Triple-A.”
@MLBMoves_News: “The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded RHP Carson Fulmer to the Seattle Mariners. Fulmer is on a minor league contract, so a 40-man roster move won’t be required right away by the Mariners. The Pirates are likely to receive cash considerations in return.”
Alex Stumpf: “Fulmer has been acquired by the Pirates four times in his career and never appeared in a Major League game with the Pirates. The stuff of legends.”
@Namz011: “cash in return?”
@Steven1xy: “$$$$ cash considerations assuming?”
