Mariners Acquire Jimmy Yacabonis

By Steve Adams | August 19, 2020 at 3:07pm CDT

The Mariners announced that they’ve acquired non-roster right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis from the Padres in exchange for cash. He’d been in San Diego’s 60-man player pool at their alternate training site and will now head to the Mariners’ alternate site.

Yacabonis, 28, spent parts of the 2017-19 seasons in the Orioles’ bullpen but has yet to find his footing in the big leagues. He’s tallied 101 2/3 innings but carries a 5.75 ERA with 6.6 K/9 against 5.0 BB/9 in that time. The former 13th-round pick averages about 94 mph on a fastball that generates above-average spin, and he has a solid enough track record in the minor leagues despite his lack of success in the Majors. He’ll give the Mariners a bit of bullpen depth and may eventually emerge as an option to join a bullpen that could undergo some changes between now and the Aug. 31 trade deadline.

      Too bad he wasn’t traded to Detroit. The username would have fit perfectly with the comment.

    Welp there goes the Padres season. The fire sell has begun. Traded the one dude who could have saved our pen this season.

    What’s Trevor Hoffman, Houston Street, and Heath bell up to these days?

      On a more serious note, Padres should trade cash or a PTBNL for Stephen Gonsalves.

    That guy has a great baseball name. Too bad he can’t play.

        He’s always sounded to me like someone Kramer or his friend Bob Sacamano would be in business with.

    I thought Yacabonus was an arbitration award.

    His 5.75 career ERA would rate him as an ace in the 2020 Mariner bullpen.

    Still waiting on good trades… have you seen that dumpster fire of a bullpen the padres have? I have lost track at how many games the pen has cost… it has to be well of 70%

      Probably half of the pen is fine. It’s Tingler a usage of relievers (leaving them in too long, or using the wrong ones at the wrong time) that has been the problem. And his insistence on using some who shouldn’t be in the majors over others who have had success. Get rid of Tingler and have someone even half competent running the show and it’d be fine.

        Yep… AJ was going to replace Andy Green with an experienced old school manager. Instead he chose another rookie. Tingler has been trying, but his inexperience shines through quite often.

      We should have given Darren Balsley a shot at manager.

      Been with the organization since 2003, from San Diego, and he always seemed to get the best out of pitchers.

      Where’s Bud Black when you need his expertise.

        Bud Black is ahead of San Diego in the NL West standings at the moment. And has been for the past 3+ years.

          And before that – Bruce Bochy who went on to win a bunch of WS rings after he left. I think, finally, the curse has lifted. Andy Green is a bench coach however the Cubs are really good this year and he could get his ring.

        Darren choose semi-retirement. Word is we tried everything to make him stay in a day-to-day role but I respect his decision to spend more time with his family.

    Not sure why they’d want Yacabonis – he’s been incredibly unsuccessful. Another meh reliever….
