The Mariners have re-signed righty Justin De Fratus, according to a team press release. He was recently released from the MLB deal he signed with the club earlier in the winter, and will now return to major league camp on a minor league contract.
De Fratus was brought in with hopes that he could return to the form he showed with the Phillies back in 2014. He struggled last year, ultimately losing his roster spot in Philadelphia, and he’s reportedly been unable to regain his former velocity thus far in camp. His results reflect that, but Seattle obviously saw enough to want a continued look — without the commitment of a 40-man slot.
I think you meant to say the form he showed in 2014.
2004 was a great year though!!!! (Sox won the World Series in 2004 if you didn’t get that)
Definitely because he was in High School in 2004 lol
Reading your comments is like playing ‘6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon’.
this comment is winning.
Just fixed that typo.
My only issue with ’04 is that it made it impossible for me to get tickets to Fenway when I lived in Boston, otherwise I’d certainly have made sure to mention that in the post. Thanks for noting that, though.
2004? i dont think anyone could play like they did in 2004 lol
2004? De Fratus is older than I thought.
