Mariners Sign Closer Zimmerman out of Non-Retirement
In what was probably just a coincidence, just after Brandon Morrow's first blown save of the season, the Mariners announced the signing of former Texas Rangers closer Jeff Zimmerman. ![]()
Zimmerman had never officially "retired", but he's been out of baseball since 2001. During that time, he may or may not have moved back to his hometown, become a substitute teacher, rocked out on his jet ski, and gotten his f*%& on.
