Mariners Acquire Ricardo Sanchez

By Steve Adams | November 28, 2018 at 6:15pm CDT

The Mariners have acquired left-hander Ricardo Sanchez from the Braves, tweets Greg Johns of MLB.com. They’ll send cash to Atlanta in exchange for the 21-year-old southpaw, who was designated for assignment two days ago.

Sanchez ascended to the Double-A level for the first time in 2018, though he managed just a 4.06 ERA a 44-to-24 K/BB ratio in 57 1/3 innings in his first action at that level. In parts of five minor league seasons, Sanchez has a 4.48 ERA with 8.1 K/9 against 4.1 BB/9. Sanchez rated 26th among Braves farmhands, per Jonathan Mayo, Jim Callis and Mike Rosenbaum of MLB.com. Their free report on Sanchez praised the lefty’s fastball, curveball and changeup — all of which have a chance to be average or better offerings. Fangraphs’ Eric Longenhagen has previously called him a potential No. 4 starter but noted that his command needs to take a notable step forward to realize that upside.

    I’m just glad we got something for him. Too young with a lot of potential. He’ll prob never figure it out, but he has time to try

      As an M’s fan that’s good to hear. I feel like we have traded away all of our prospects like this (young SP with potential to be a 4/5 SP) in recent years.

        RThen they have turned out to have higher ceilings once traded and given time to mature. IE…De Los Santos, Gohara, Freddy Peralta, Yarbrough, Andrew Kittredge, Nick Niedert, and Robert Dugger.

        I am sure a lot of you don’t know the names on the list above but there are (4) players on that list that have cracked the Top 100 prospect list (Niedert, De Los Santos, Gohara, and Peralta) and 5 of those players have already contributed in the big leagues.

          Add those guys to the current core and Seattle looks pretty solid, especially if they kept Paxton.

      He hasn’t really put his stamp on the roster yet like he did in Toronto so you’re probably right

    If he was rated 26th in Atlanta he’s gotta be top 15 in Seattle.

      First I thought this was a joke.

      Then I thought it was obnoxious and misinformed.

      Then I thought it was probably true.

        If you are going by the mlb prospects pipeline sometimes with trades and stuff the rankings look sorta “off” with the new team. They tend to be more as expected when they do a full revision across all teams later.

    Lol this is a guy hoped the Mariners would maybe get back as in Diaz or Haniger deal. Obviously not as the main piece.

      As a sixth or seventh piece maybe. Trading for one of those two would be insanely expensive because you would have to convince the Mariners who aren’t interested in trading either.

    As a Mariners fan they must have loved his spin rate as that seems to be the only qualification Dipoto looks for in a pitcher. They don’t tend to llike pitchers with moxy, stamina, control, or overall stuff

    How much cash? I mean like this makes two prospects for cash. I’d like it more if it were for international money. But I don’t know baseball economics. Does clean or clear spots for the actual major league ready prospects

      No, it clears spots for McCann and Donaldson. IFA money would make no sense as they can’t spend it due to sanctions.

      International money is useless to the Braves for the next couple years because of the restrictions placed on them by the MLB.

        I think they’re only banned for 1 more year, and then can’t sign anyone for over 500k a couple after that. but hey, Albies and Acuna both signed for less than that

    DiPoto traded Ricardo Sanchez as Angels GM to Atlanta for Kyle Kubitza, who last season was starring for the Sugar Land Skeeters.

    If the Oakland A’s are gonna start building a new ballpark. Might they be willing to trade Khris Davis for Inciarte, Gohara, Allard and Mike soroka. Little overpay to make sure it gets done.
