The Mariners have designated Tyler Cloyd and optioned Christian Bergman, per a club announcement. Righty Andrew Moore’s contract was selected in a corresponding move.
Cloyd, 30, made only a single appearance for Seattle this year — his first since 2013. He has thrown well at Triple-A, though, carrying a 1.40 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 0.9 BB/9 through 19 1/3 innings over five starts.
While Bergman had been scheduled for an upcoming start, he’ll instead make way for the 23-year-old Moore. A second-round pick in 2015, Moore has impressed throughout his minor-league career. That has continued thus far in 2017, as he moved up to the highest level of the minors for the first time. In 82 2/3 total frames, split between Double and Triple-A, Moore owns a 2.83 ERA with 8.4 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9.
So Moore will make 1 start and then get sent down?
Greg Johns is saying he’s heard Moore will replace Gallardo in the rotation.
I wonder if the Rays can go for Cloyd. With the results of their current pen, and Cloyd’s impressive minor league numbers, might as well try something new.
Wow! The Mariners really do like players from Oregon State. That’ll be 3 players on their active roster that have played in Omaha for the Beavers.
Moore could be a sneaky addition. Might be a boost there rotation needs. Would like them to get quintana to help even more. Iwakuma velocity at 84 currently. Plus after the season iwakuma and Gallardo can be let go which would save them money for a top line starter. Paxton has the stuff but has shown no durability. Paxton, Felix, Miranda, smyly could be a decent 4 but Paxton might be better served as a closer, Andrew Miller type. Could help his durability issues. Moore hopefully fills a void and maybe they add a arm. If they want to win. Now’s the Time. Gamel and haniger with Dyson shown to be a good of. Trade oneil for a arm with some other peices.
Seriously? 1. We are definitely not getting Quintana. We don’t have the prospects to meet their very high asking price. Think more along the lines of a hellickson, liriano and MAYBE Cueto if we’re all in.
2nd. Paxton as a closer??? Dude is definitely a starter not to mention we have a 22 year old closer for cheap
No buyer will touch Hellickson.
Been worth 1.0 WAR so far. Could help a team like Seattle if Kuma falls apart
Cloyd an ex phillie might be best starter on that staff he came back
Moore prob is another one and done guy(back to the minors) ,unless he has an impressive start.The revolving door keeps spinning……
Nah, as long as he pitches as well as Gaviglio (not the highest of bars), he’s here to stay at least until Smyly comes back. You don’t add someone to the 40 man unless you expect them to stay
I’m hoping Cloyd clears waivers. He carried some intrigue for me, but I guess they view him as more expendable than Gosewisch or Bergman for whatever reason.
A low talent relief pitcher more expendable than a fill-in starter and a defensive catcher? Gee, I wonder why.
Was excellent in the minors and his one appearance in MLB. Pitched with a bum arm and then missed a chunk of development time to Tommy John. I think there’s a small probability of a post surgery breakout. Thanks for the response, guy, I can tell you have lots of valuable insight.
