MLB's Mariners may sign Taiwanese pitcher: report

LOS ANGELES--The Seattle Mariners are considering signing Taiwanese baseball pitcher Hong-chih Kuo, who was dropped by the Los Angeles Dodgers last December, according to a sports writer in the Seattle Times.

On his Twitter feed, Geoff Baker who covers the Mariners for the newspaper, said Saturday that the baseball team is “looking closely at LH (left-handed) reliever Hong-chih Kuo. Signing close?”

Baker's online post came after recent media reports of three west coast teams being interested in Kuo, who became a free agent after the Dodgers decided not to offer him a contract for the 2012 season.

Kuo, 30, became the first Taiwanese player on the MLB All-Star team in 2010 but suffered injuries that affected his performance in 2011.
