KLEIN FOR JACQUES
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher Will Klein from the Seattle Mariners for pitcher Joe Jacques.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
In Klein, the Dodgers pick up a depth right-handed reliever. He has limited MLB experience (11.05 ERA in 7.1 IP) and did not pitch for the Mariners this season. In the minors, Klein has shown solid strikeout ability but also control problems. He'll head to Triple-A with the Dodgers, who must think the 25-year-old still has potential.
What does it give the Seattle Mariners
Seattle designated Klein for assignment after early-season struggles at Triple-A. In this trade, they were able to add to their organization's left-handed pitching depth. Jacques is a southpaw reliever who has appeared 24 MLB games. He isn't a 40-man roster player, so he'd need to earn another promotion to their MLB bullpen.
Fantasy impact
This trade won't have a fantasy impact. Both pitchers are likely to spend the much of the season in the Minor Leagues.
