Mariners Release Patrick Wisdom

By Connor Byrne | August 14, 2020 at 8:17pm CDT

The Mariners have granted infielder Patrick Wisdom his unconditional release, Greg Johns of MLB.com relays. The club previously designated Wisdom for assignment on Aug. 10.

Wisdom joined the Mariners as a minor league signing last November, but he never took an at-bat with the club before it axed him. He’s best known as a former first-round pick of the Cardinals in 2012, when Wisdom went 52nd overall.

Wisdom had his moments in the St. Louis organization, especially during a 2018 major league debut in which he slashed .260/.362/.520 with four home runs in 58 plate appearances, but the Cardinals traded him to the Rangers prior to the ’19 campaign. Wisdom struggled to a .154/.185/.192 line with 15 strikeouts in 26 PA as a Ranger.

While his time in the majors has certainly been inconsistent, Wisdom will bring a track record of decent minors production to the next organization that signs him (if one does). He posted an .844 OPS in Triple-A ball last year and owns a .252/.328/.478 line with 82 homers in 1,674 trips to the plate at the highest level of the minors.

    Hope he finds a home. Given the chance, I feel he’d stick at the mlb level

    odd they signed him to a MLB deal as a clear minors deal candidate, then suddenly didnt want to keep him.

    If I remember right they brought him in to back up Seager if something happened but I’m guessing some of the other youngsters are showing enough to dump him. Bet he goes back to the Rangers

    It has often been said the Mariners front office is without Wisdom

    The AAA inconsistency in OBP worries me. His stats are just good enough to look impressive but probably not good enough to translate to an everyday player in the majors.
