Mariners add two relievers to bullpen

The Seattle Mariners have agreed to a $750,000, one-year contract with Shawn Camp and a $500,000, one-year deal with Hong-Chih Kuo in an attempt to add bullpen depth.

Kuo was an All-Star in 2010 with the Dodgers but struggled last season with a back problem early and later missed a month with an anxiety disorder.

Camp led Toronto with 67 appearances last year and was 6-3 with a 4.21 ERA.

To clear roster space, Seattle designated outfielder Mike Wilson and catcher Chris Gimenez for assignment.

Also, Mariners minor league catcher Christian Carmichael has been suspended 50 games for a positive drug test.

He batted .182 in 11 at-bats for Seattle’s Arizona Fall League team last season.

Rockies get Guthrie

The Colorado Rockies acquired veteran right-hander Jeremy Guthrie from the Baltimore Orioles.

In exchange, the Rockies sent reliever Matt Lindstrom and right-hander Jason Hammel to the Orioles.
