The Mariners are set to sign right-hander Cory Abbott to a minor league contract, reports Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times.
Abbott has fanned a hefty 28.7% of his opponents in Triple-A and was ranked as a top prospect within the Cubs' system.
Certainly, not every dart throw made by the team will yield a turnaround along the lines those success stories, but the Mariners have somewhat quietly built up a nice track record of maximizing results from unheralded acquisitions.
