Mariners Designate Mike Wright

By Jeff Todd | July 5, 2019 at 1:26pm CDT

The Mariners announced today that they have designated righty Mike Wright for assignment. His roster spot was needed for fellow right-hander Matt Wisler, who is active after being acquired yesterday.

Wright, 29, landed with the M’s in late April and ended up being designated and outrighted by the Seattle org. He earned another shot after an effective run at Triple-A, but was obviously seen by the team as a fringe roster piece.

In 29 1/3 innings this year, Wright carries an ugly 8.28 ERA. He has coughed up six home runs and 45 total base knocks, but does have a solid 30:12 K/BB ratio. Wright has never managed to sustain success in the majors; he’s allowing more than six earned per nine over 258 career frames.

    Those are some horrible stats. He has thrown over 250 mlb innings and has an era over 6! That could very well be the end for Wright!

    This guy is consistently terrible throughout his major league career. How does he keep getting opportunities?

      Wright has great stuff. Mid 90s fastball. Nice breaking pitch. Every pitching coach thinks he can figure out what goes wrong between his ears.

      Have you seen the Mariners bullpen? We will take a healthy serviceable arm at this point.

      He has good K/BB numbers. With how the game is played now, it’s all about making sure there’s no one on base when you give up a home run. As much as he gives up a ton of bombs, at least a lot of them are solo shots

      His minor league numbers are palatable, and every once in a blue moon, he puts together a decent string of innings.

    3.15 FIP isnt terrible. Despite his poor history, I could see him getting another shot. He’d probably be an upgrade for the Mets

      your overexaggeration of a rather unclever pun makes me cringe

      Puns are a lot less funny when one feels the need to capitalize the word in question.

        And then add two “!!” To cement it.
