Phillies To Sign Nick Vincent

By Jeff Todd | August 9, 2019 at 9:50pm CDT

10:00pm: There is indeed a deal in place, per MLB.com’s Jon Morosi (via Twitter).

9:50pm: The Phillies are “working toward” a deal with righty Nick Vincent, per Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadephia (Twitter link). If completed, it’ll be a minors pact.

Vincent is one of several veteran players who have entered the open market in recent weeks. With no possibility of striking trades for players on MLB contracts, contenders are stockpiling all the depth they can.

Things were going well enough for Vincent to open the year, after he earned an Opening Day roster spot with the Giants. Working in a multi-inning capacity, he made it through 24 innings over 14 appearances with a 2.25 ERA. Then came a brutal, four-appearance stretch in which he coughed up 13 earned runs.

That stretch ended when Vincent went on the injured list with a pectoral injury. He has been sidelined ever since. The Giants elected to set him loose rather than adding him back to the active roster after watching Vincent’s rehab work. He did rack up a dozen strikeouts without a walk over seven appearances.

For the most part, Vincent has been much the same reliever as always in 2019. He carries an 11.3% swinging-strike rate with 8.8 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9, numbers that sit right at his career average. With a long track record of strong work — he owns a lifetime 3.38 ERA in 362 2/3 MLB frames — Vincent was sure to secure an opportunity somewhere. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him back in the majors in relatively short order.

    The dumpster/barrel is open for scraping once again.

    I don’t like this one trade deadline July 31st. I would have rather seen it Aug 15th splitting the difference between the two dates.

      I think it’ll be pushed back for sure. Aug 15 makes sense.

    Vincent has been solid for quite a few years. This is a low risk signing.
    A pectoral injury, I wonder how hard it is to recover. Obviously the Giants suspected he was still injured.

    Beat of luck to Nick! Solid pitcher for Giants mostly.

    He pitched ok for the most part this yr with San Francisco, but he had a couple bad outings that inflated his era. So he could end up being a solid pick up for Philadelphia..

    Hope he can continue his multi-inning ability. Phillies have had no luck with those this year.
    After the season, how many coaches are going to take the fall for the Phils ? Chris Young was a mistake. Not sure about Mallee anymore.

      The Cubs hit worse and worse every year under Mallee. Phils should have kept Kranitz and let Young walk to another club. Pivetta and Eflin got worse under Young.

      While coaching staff will take the hit, and injuries can’t be ignored, Klentak’s mismanagement of pitching needs should have him held more accountable. The off-season obsession with the Harper sweepstakes was ridiculous, and ill-fated. Gabe’s on-field decisions have also left a lot to be desired. How do you get yourself into an extra inning situation where you’re sending a position player to the mound and a pitcher to the outfield? Both of these geniuses bear responsibility for this waste of a season; would rather see them expunged.
