Mariners fortify their bullpen with a profession and a waiver claim

 The Seattle Mariners have included some deepness to their beleaguered bullpen in the past 24-hour. On Wednesday,  Seattle got RHP Mike Baumann and veteran C Michael Perz from the Baltimore Orioles for minors C Blake Hunt. Additionally,  Seattle announced adhering to Thursday's video game that they have actually claimed RHP Eduardo Salazar off waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers,  clearing a 40-man roster spot by marking minors LHP Sammy Peralta for well-known of the number is Baumann,  that actually pitched against the Mariners both a week ago and last August,  and made his M's launching this afternoon in the club's 5-0 loss to the New york city Yankees. The 28-year-old started right up with the minors however debuted out of the bullpen in lengthy alleviation for the 110-loss 2021 O's in the final of their 5 absolutely catastrophic seasons. Though Baumann turned up as a four-pitch pitcher,  he's leaned primarily on two or 3 in the pros,  functioning a pair of breaking rounds that have mixed into a little bit of a morass in the last year or more. At its ideal,  Baumann's breaker is an awful knuckle-curve with phenomenal late vertical 's upped his usage of a slider/cutter variant that is,  well,  present. The very best variant of the off-speed is a slider that sets much of the knuckle-curve's bite with some move and a somewhat higher ordinary has been tinkered with or has actually dabbled) for a lot of 94 looks in 127.1 innings so far,  yet with upper-90s warmth and a feeling for spin,  there's some reason to think Seattle can discover what they seek in a tweak. If absolutely nothing else,  those use numbers show what Baumann has actually greatly done as a huge leaguer: covered innings,  albeit with middling 's taken part the fresh M's pen by Salazar,  a 26-year-old Venzuelan with a mere 14.1 IP as a huge leaguer in between the previous two periods. He's a more true groundball pitcher,  having actually developed the Cincinnati Reds and afterwards made a call-up this year with the Dodgers after signing in L.A. as a small league freelance this past winter season. The Dodgers were beginning Salazar in Triple-A Oklahoma City,  where he's been shellacked due to a lack of strikeout stuff. Nonetheless,  L.A. likewise shows up to have actually relocated him to pitching totally out of the stretch,  urging Salazar to reduce what was a long-action distribution that led to middling command. He's just thrown sliders and heaters in the pros,  with the slider in the upper-80s revealing light sweep and middling decrease and the weight at around 94 being instead hittable. Both pitches include sufficient down motion that Mariners Jerseys,  need to hitters jump on base,  Salazar can eke out of trouble with dual plays. However,  Salazar has,  honestly,  not been especially reliable at any kind of level because High-A,  making him a curious target without a shift in to sign up with is Prez,  a professional backstop who spent his developmental years with the Arizona Diamondbacks prior to getting fliiped to the Tampa Bay Rays for RHP Matt Andriese. Prez has played 202 games over the previous 6 seasons in the bigs with the Rays,  Pittsburgh Pirates,  and New York Mets,  yet has yet to feature in a big league video game in 2024 because of being a player in the literal sense yet not a practical one. The 31-year-old will take Quest's place in Triple-A Tacoma,  while Search reaches inhabit functionally the same place in Triple-A Norfolk,  looking up at his big organization club's star main backstop and offensively penniless professional backup. I do not have anything personal versus Sammy Peralta,  yet his has been the least explicable 40-man spot for some time now,  as the soft-throwing southpaw has been getting predictably eaten to life in Tacoma. He promises to clear waivers.
