The Seattle Mariners are poised to kick off their free agency after the World Series, but they have already made moves in their minor league system. On October 15, they signed Nick Dunn, a former fifth-round pick, to a minor league deal and assigned him to the Tacoma Rainiers.

Dunn, a versatile infielder, has spent his career in the St. Louis Cardinals organization, making it to Triple-A only recently. His signing may not directly impact the major league roster, but he fills a need for the Mariners at second and third base.
