Mariners Claim Sam Moll

By Steve Adams | November 30, 2017 at 12:49pm CDT

The Mariners announced that they’ve claimed left-handed reliever Sam Moll off waivers from the Pirates, bringing their 40-man roster to a total of 37 players.

Pittsburgh had only just claimed the 25-year-old Moll off waivers from the A’s on Monday, but the Bucs apparently did so with the hope of then passing Moll through waivers themselves in order to keep him in the organization without committing a 40-man roster spot.

A former third-round pick of the Rockies, Moll made his big league debut in 2017, though he was tagged for eight earned runs in a small sample of 6 2/3 innings. His work in the minors, however, is more solid. In 54 1/3 innings between the Triple-A affiliates for the Rockies and the A’s, Moll pitched to a 3.64 ERA with 7.8 K/9 against 3.1 BB/9.

Moll has a history of missing bats and inducing grounders at an above-average rate through the Double-A level and will give Seattle a lefty with multiple minor league options remaining to compete for a bullpen spot next spring — assuming he makes it to camp with the Mariners and doesn’t land with another organization via waivers, of course.

      He loves his bats, but they left him and he misses them terribly.

        He misses them so much, he drives around in a white van inducing grounders, “Hey, little grounder. You like popsicles?”

    Anyone remember the pitcher’s name from either last off season or the previous year that claimed of waivers repeatedly I think the Pirates had him twice and the Rangers had him once or twice? Bounced around several times between teams over the course of a month or so. Was the running joke on here if the Pirates would still end up with him or with someone else..

    How come the Mariners didn’t just claim him when he was DFA’D the first time, they go before the Pirates on AL Players don’t they?
