Dodgers lose out on Hisashi Iwakuma, who re-signs with the Seattle Mariners. Update.

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto announced tonight — at a company party, no less — that Hisashi Iwakuma will re-sign with the only major league team he’s ever pitched for:

The Dodgers and Iwakuma agreed to terms on a three-year contract that was pending a physical. Something changed after the Dodgers reviewed the physical, however, and the Mariners apparently wasted little time swooping in.

Iwakuma’s contract is guaranteed for one year, with vesting options for 2017 and 2018.

Update: The Dodgers lost yet another of their starting pitcher targets but still have time to get someone else.
