Mariners Designate Erik Goeddel, Select Christian Bergman

By Jeff Todd | May 16, 2018 at 1:45pm CDT

The Mariners have designated righty Erik Goeddel, per a club announcement. That’ll create roster space for the M’s to select the contract of fellow right-hander Christian Bergman.

It’s a tough result for Goeddel, 29, who had allowed just one earned run on four hits in his 5 1/3 MLB innings this year while recording seven strikeouts and a pair of walks. He threw nine scoreless frames at Triple-A to open the year after joining the M’s late in camp.

As for the 30-year-old Bergman, he’ll look to carry over his successes thus far at Triple-A into the majors. He has generally struggled in prior attempts at the bigs, but is carrying a healthy 3.40 ERA with a 41:12 K/BB ratio through 45 frames on at Tacoma.

    Does anyone else on mobile have a gray box that says “sponsor” in the second space where a story would be? I noticed it this morning and it is still there. It is strange that it just says sponsor. There is probably supposed to be an advertisement.

      I have the same thing. I’m assuming you’re also using the mobile app. I only started noticing this problem in the last week or so

    Typical Mariners: Optioning down to AAA a guy that that has pitched effectively,while several bullpen deadweights remain in the bigs,only because they’re out of options.

      Goeddel is out of options and could only be DFA’d and the Mariner’s needed a starter for today’s game.

        Bergman pitched well. The trouble started after he was pulled.

      CLE should be all over this. They need more than Goeddel, but he’d be a great start.
