Mariners Expected To Sign Anthony Bass

By Jeff Todd | May 21, 2019 at 8:55am CDT

The Mariners are “expected” to secure a deal with righty Anthony Bass, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com (Twitter link). The 31-year-old had been pitching in the Reds organization but is said to have triggered an opt-out clause.

Bass has seen sporadic MLB action in parts of seven seasons, compiling a 4.51 ERA in 299 1/3 total frames. He performed well last year in a 16-appearance stint with the Cubs but settled for a minors deal with the Reds.

After failing to win a MLB job in camp, Bass ended up at Triple-A Louisville to open the current campaign. Through 20 1/3 innings, he owns a 2.21 ERA with 19 strikeouts against six walks and 13 hits.

Whether the Mariners will bring Bass onto the MLB roster as part of the arrangement isn’t yet clear. Regardless, he seems well positioned to get a shot with a bullpen that has already hosted quite a few different hurlers at this early stage of the season.

    Looks like they caught a small fry. A small fry who could toss 100 IP out of the bullpen if needed in a multi inning relief role.

    This is just getting to the point of ridiculous! This has to be one of the worst bullpens and defensive teams I have ever seen assembled and we are not even in June.

    I understand we weren’t expecting much as fans this year but you would have thought one of these young bullpen arms would’ve shown something by now.

      As in like Brandon Brennan, or Connor Sadzeck showing something? And Roenis Elias.

      The owner promised fans they’d win the World Series next year, so take that for what you will.
