Chris Flexen agrees to two-year deal with Mariners

Chris Flexen has agreed to a two-year, $4.75 million deal with the Seattle Mariners, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

Fantasy Impact

Flexen gets a two-year deal after pitching for the Doosan Bears of the Korean Baseball Organization last season. He was solid in the KBO, registering a 3.32 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and a 132:30 K/BB ratio over 116 2/3 innings (21 starts). This is a bit of a reclamation project for the Mariners as Flexen struggled over parts of three seasons with the Mets, posting a 8.07 ERA and 2.13 WHIP over 68 innings, mostly as a reliever. He's still just 26-years old, though, and will have a chance to compete for a rotation spot with the M's this spring.
