The Miami Marlins They claimed the right pitcher Seth Martínez From the waivers list of the Seattle Marinersas announced by the Mariners themselves.
The news comes less than two weeks after Seattle acquired it in a waivers request from Miami. To make space in the roster of 40 players, the Marlins placed left -handed Andrew Nardi on the 60 -day injured list.
Martínez, 30, was selected in the 17th Round of the 2016 Draft by the Oakland Athletics, but his career in the MLB has been with the Houston Astros.
He debuted in 2021, having a difficult first experience, but managed to stand out in 2022 with an impressive effectiveness of 2.09 in 38 2/3 entries. That year it recorded a 24.5% strikeout rate and a 9.0% ball base rate. Although some advanced metrics showed more conservative numbers, their 3.32 and 3.56 FIP confirmed their quality as a reliable reliever.
With this movement, the Marlins seek to reinforce their bullpen with an experienced arm, hoping Martínez recover their best level in the new season.
