Saucedo had been designated for assignment last week by the Mets in order to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for their signing of Tommy Pham.
Last season, with Triple-A Buffalo where he spent the bulk of the season, the twenty-nine-year-old recorded a strong 2.25 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 30 strikeouts over 20 innings of work.
For his major-league career, Saucedo holds a 5.40 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 19 strikeouts across 28.1 innings. He's made 33 relief appearances, all with the Toronto Blue Jays.
He's a former 21st-round pick by the Blue Jays in the 2015 MLB Draft.
Saucedo will provide some bullpen depth for the Mariners.
