Mariners sign Gott

The Seattle Mariners signed right-hander Trevor Gott to a oneyear contract Wednesday. Gott appeared in 45 games last season with Milwaukee, going 3-4 with a 4.14 ERA. He had 44 strikeouts in 452/ 3 innings. Gott’s signing helps fill a void created when Erik Swanson was traded to Toronto as part of the deal that brought slugger Teoscar Hernandez to Seattle earlier this month. Gott has also pitched for San Francisco, Washington and the Los Angeles Angels.
