SATURDAY: Seattle has released Peralta, according to a club announcement.
THURSDAY: The Mariners have designated righty Joel Peralta for assignment, the team announced. Fellow right-hander Cody Martin will take over his spot in the Seattle pen.
Peralta, 40, joined the M’s on a minor league deal over the winter. He is owed $1.25MM, but presumably hasn’t earned much (if any) of the $2.5MM incentive package.
Seattle hasn’t received the reliable production it hoped for out of the veteran. Peralta’s velocity, contact, and zone numbers all look similar to prior seasons. But he’s always allowed a lot of flyballs, and this year more than ever (20.0%) have turned into home runs.
The result is that Peralta owns an ugly 5.40 ERA over 23 1/3 innings, and that mark has been on the rise of late. On the other hand, he’s running out an impressive 10.8 K/9 against 2.7 BB/9, so it won’t be surprising to see him earn another opportunity at some point this season — though that may come with another organization.
I’m glad to see Cody got called up, I met him in spring training this year while he was leaving practice and he actually had a conversation with me unlike most of the other players.
Well… If you act/talk in person like you do up here, I don’t blame MOST players for not giving you the time of day!
Can you tell me what I’ve said
Almost EVERY post I’ve seen from you, is you “trolling” other players from other teams. NOT cool
Can you tell me exactly what I said
Any chance Giants take a flier on him? After last nights disappointing loss, along with numerous other poor outings from Casilla and Romo’s setback in his rehab, I think this could be a high upside move for SF (especially at AT&T park). Agree?
He didn’t pitch well at safeco this year though, so I don’t know if at
It diddnt post all of my comment, let me finish, so I don’t know if at
Is it just not showing me all of my comments or is it really cutting me at at

It won’t post the ampersand for some reason. Do we have to write it out? AT and T Park. Sheesh!
rebirth with the Rays? Only as long as he comes dirt cheap.
Blue jays go play for the bisons and come up in late August.
Barring anymore injuries to lineup, who would be the best starter to target for the M’s?
Cody Martin was optioned down to AAA Tacoma and the M’s called up Edwin Diaz from AA Jackson.
