Mariners To Sign Erik Goeddel

By Jeff Todd | March 20, 2018 at 8:00am CDT

The Mariners have agreed to a contract with right-hander Erik Goeddel, MLBTR has learned. Terms of the agreement are not known at this time.

Goeddel was cut loose by the Rangers just yesterday after spending the bulk of camp with the Texas organization. He struck out six and walked two batters in his 5 2/3 Cactus League frames, but also allowed four earned runs on seven hits.

Clearly, that brief showing isn’t enough to draw any firm conclusions, but the Rangers obviously decided to go with other options after watching Goeddel’s work. For the M’s, it seems likely Goeddel will take up a spot on the depth chart — unless he can make a surprising late-spring run at an active roster spot.

The 29-year-old hurler has seen a fair bit of action with the Mets over the past several seasons and has shown some promise. In 104 2/3 total MLB frames, he owns a 3.96 ERA with 9.4 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9. As that strikeout rate suggests, Goeddel gets his share of whiffs. Last year, indeed, Goeddel ran up a career-high 15.2% swinging-strike rate. But he also allowed home runs on over twenty percent of the balls put in the air against him at both the MLB and Triple-A levels.

      They seem to have a consistent problem with their links

        That’s not a bug, it’s a feature! Allows us to work on our own research skills while teaching us not to rely on others. Two invaluable lessons for the price of none.

        It’s the script the use. I think it’s supposed to automatically link the player, but when guys have similar names it gets confused.

        There are many teams in sports far worse than the Mariners.

          Sunderland AFC- in the English Premier League just two years ago, now demoted to the second tier of English football. They have never won the league, last trophy won was 1973. 50,000 fans come and watch the Black Cats every Home game. There’s plenty of teams in sports who are worse off than the Ms. Just saying

          I don’t think Sunderland are getting 50,000 these days, but as you say, there’s a lot worse in sport than the M’s. If my team stay up in League One we’ll get to play the Mackems in the third tier. Promotion and relegation are great, different to the American model but beautiful all the same.

          Name one in US professional sports. There isn’t any team with a longer playoff drought.

          Your logic is flawed. Playoff draughts are a poor measure of guaging the “worst” team.

    Erik Goeddel? As much as they are into promotions for their fan base, I think signing Eddie Gaedel would have been much more interesting.
