Mariners Acquire Will Klein, Designate Tyler Jay For Assignment
Briefly

The Seattle Mariners have acquired right-hander Klein from the Oakland Athletics after Klein was designated for assignment. In exchange, the A's receive international bonus pool space, though the specific amount is undisclosed. Klein, 25, has limited major league experience, having pitched only 7 1/3 innings with a high ERA of 11.05. However, he has shown potential in the minors with a high strikeout rate despite struggles with walks. The Mariners view Klein as a project, offering him the opportunity to develop further within their organization.
Klein, 25, was traded from the Royals to the A's as part of last summer's deadline trade that sent Lucas Erceg to Kansas City.
Klein has a sliver of major league experience to this point, having tossed 7 1/3 innings between the two clubs last year, allowing nine earned runs.
