The Mariners have agreed to a cope with right-hander Nick Wittgren, in line with Jon Heyman of the New York Publish (via X). The contract is presumably a minor league pact, as Wittgren was beforehand taking part in on a minors cope with the Royals earlier than he grew to become a free agent earlier this week. Since Wittgren has over 5 years of MLB service time, he had the fitting to decide on free company when the Royals tried to possibility him to Triple-A.
A veteran of eight MLB seasons, Wittgren was launched by the Cardinals in July 2022 and didn’t land with a brand new membership till signing his minor league contract with the Royals in December. Ok.C. chosen him to the 26-man roster in Might, and Wittgren had a 4.97 ERA over 29 innings in Royal blue. It’s not a giant enchancment over his 5.32 ERA with Cleveland and St. Louis in 2021-22, however whereas superior metrics point out that Wittgren was a bit unfortunate to publish such an ERA in these seasons, his SIERA this 12 months is 5.03.
Extra to return…
