Mariners Reacquire Patrick Kivlehan From Rangers

By Connor Byrne | May 29, 2016 at 3:30pm CDT

The Mariners have acquired infielder Patrick Kivlehan from the Rangers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations, per a Seattle announcement. To make room for Kivlehan on their 40-man roster, the Mariners moved reliever Evan Scribner to the 60-day disabled list.

Kivlehan, whom the Rangers designated for assignment Monday, will now rejoin the organization that selected him in the fourth round of the 2011 draft. The Mariners eventually shipped Kivlehan to the Rangers last November as part of the package for center fielder Leonys Martin, who has been excellent in Seattle so far.

The 26-year-old Kivlehan has hit well in the minors, slashing .280/.345/.465 with 71 home runs in 2,125 plate appearances. He got off to a rough start this year with the Rangers organization, though, compiling a .184/.252/.262 line in 155 trips to the plate for Triple-A Round Rock.

    This trade has gone all kinds of wrong for the Rangers. Wilhelmsen was awful and was demoted. James Jones and Kivlehan didn’t even make the team in spring training and they haven’t hit a lick in AAA. Meanwhile, Leonys Martin is having the best season of his career in the most pitcher friendly of ballparks, and now the Mariners get Kivlehan back. Fantastic.

      I think this trade was more about the Rangers ridding themselves of Martin than anything. There’s still time for Jones and Wilhelmsen to contribute.
