If George Sherrill is already in, this leaves Lucas Luetge and Charlie Furbush fighting for the role of second lefty.
More importantly, there are now two 40-man roster spots open. One figures to go to infielder Munenori Kawasaki with the other going to either Kevin Millwood or Erasmo Ramirez.
With Jimenez gone, the Mariners no longer have any obvious cut candidates should they decide to make more room on the roster.
