The Seattle Mariners have signed free-agent relievers Kuo Hong-chih and Shawn Camp to one-year contracts in a move to bolster their bullpen, the team said on Monday.

Financial terms were not released.

Kuo, who in 2010 became the first Taiwanese to make a MLB All-Star team, went 1-2 had a 9.00 earned run average in 40 games last season while hampered by elbow and anxiety problems.

The left-hander, 30, had spent his entire seven-year Major League career with the Dodgers before being released in the off-season.

Camp, 36, appeared in a team-high 67 games for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011, posting a 6-3 record and 4.21 earned run average.






Is the season lost for the Toronto Blue Jays or is there still time to turn things around?
  Plenty of time to get it turned around
  They're quickly running out of time
  It's lost. When do the Argos start?
  It was over before it began
