Mariners Outright Joe Wieland

By Steve Adams | May 2, 2016 at 3:31pm CDT

The Mariners announced on Monday that they have outrighted the contract of righty Joe Wieland off the 40-man roster. Wieland, who passed through waivers, remains at the Triple-A level, while Seattle’s 40-man roster now sits at 39 players.

Seattle acquired Wieland from the Dodgers in exchange for minor league infielder Erick Mejia this offseason. Wieland was originally a fourth-round selection of the Rangers back in the 2008 draft but was dealt to the Padres in the 2011 Mike Adams trade and was then flipped to the Dodgers in the Matt Kemp blockbuster of the 2014-15 offseason. Wieland looked to be a potential rotation option in San Diego back in 2012 when he posted a 4.55 ERA with 7.8 K/9 against 2.9 BB/9 in five starts (27 2/3 innings) as a 22-year-old, but he underwent Tommy John surgery that season and missed the entire 2013 campaign. A stress reaction and eventual arthroscopic surgery on his elbow cost Wieland much of the 2014 campaign, making the 2015 season the first in which he was fully healthy in two years.

Last year, Wieland worked to a 4.59 ERA in 113 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level with the Dodgers organization and also tossed 8 2/3 innings at the Major League level, though he surrendered eight runs in that brief big league stint. The 2016 season has been a disaster for the now 26-year-old Wieland, however, as he’s allowed an unthinkable 25 earned runs on 36 hits and eight walks with 10 strikeouts in just 13 innings at the Triple-A level. Perhaps even more amazing is the fact that Wieland actually looked sharp through his first two outings of the year, surrendering a total of three runs with a 7-to-1 K/BB ratio in nine innings. He’s made a trio of starts since that time, though, and failed to escape the second inning while allowing at least five runs in each of the three.

    This doesn’t have much to do with this post but, if Seattle is still in it at the deadline trade Peterson, Lind, Luiz Gohara, Paxton, and maybe some other fill ins for Votto, but the Reds will need to pay part of contract

      That haul isn’t worth it for the Reds to eat enough of Vottos contract for the Ms to get him.

        I know, I can’t think of any other prospects that we have that other teams would like, only one I could think of was Edwin Diaz who really should be our number 1 prospect therefore we need to keep him, and we can’t give up on Jackson yet.

      I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say any talk regarding Votto starts with Taijuan Walker. That’s precisely why I don’t see a deal getting done.
