It is no secret this time of the year bullpen help is on every contenders wish list. Arthur Rhodes has been linked to many rumors, the most recent appears to be the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers had scouts at the game last night checking out Rhodes against Texas. Rhodes allowed one hit and walked one, but got a big strikeout in a key spot against Josh Hamilton.
The lefty reliever is one year removed from Tommy John surgery and has made a fantastic recovery as he has done a great job in the Mariner bullpen. His velocity is still in the low to mid 90’s and he still has that crafty slider that give lefties nightmares. He was a non-roster invitee in the off-season, and battled back from the surgery to make the opening day roster.
Look for Rhodes to go for a mid-level prospect before the Thursday deadline.
