Cubs Sign Jake Marisnick

By Steve Adams | February 20, 2021 at 6:21pm CDT

TODAY: Marisnick’s deal has been officially announced.

FEB. 11, 9:12am: Marisnick and the Cubs have agreed to a one-year Major League deal with a mutual option for the 2022 season, tweets MLB Network’s Jon Heyman. The contract guarantees Marisnick $1.5MM. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale tweets that the guarantee will be paid out in the form of a $1MM salary in 2021 and a $500K buyout on a $4MM mutual option. He can earn another $500K in 2021 via incentives, Heyman adds.

8:15am: The Cubs and free-agent outfielder Jake Marisnick are in agreement on a contract, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports (via Twitter). Marisnick is represented by Reynolds Sports Management.

Jake Marisnick | Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports

Marisnick, 30 in March, has spent the bulk of his career with the Astros but was with the Mets in 2020. A pair of hamstring injuries limited the fleet-footed outfielder to just 16 games, although Marisnick was quite productive in his tiny sample of 34 plate appearances, hitting .333/.353/.604 with a pair of homers and three doubles.

That level of production, of course, shouldn’t be expected moving forward. Marisnick has been a below-average hitter for most of his time in the Majors, though he’s offset that sub-par bat with well above-average speed and excellent glovework. Over the past four years he’s a .234/.297/.441 hitter overall, though he’s fared better when facing left-handed pitching (.247/.313/.443).

Marisnick’s speed was down a bit in 2020, though the pair of hamstring strains surely contributed to that fact. Statcast measured his sprint speed at 29.2 feet per second from 2016-19 but had him down to 28.2 last year. That still ranked in the 84th percentile of MLB players, however, and Marisnick typically sits in the 94th percentile or better with those wheels. He also ranked among the 20 best outfielders in the game in Statcast’s Outs Above Average each year from 2016-19, and he’s been viewed as a similarly elite defender by Defensive Runs Saved and Ultimate Zone Rating.

The Cubs already had a right-handed-hitting option to platoon with fellow newcomer Joc Pederson and right fielder Jason Heyward in the form of Phil Ervin, so it’s possible Marisnick will bump him out of the plans. Ervin is a much better hitter against lefties than Marisnick but doesn’t stack up as well defensively. Chicago could certainly carry both players on the roster and more aggressively utilize a platoon setup in the outfield. At the time of the Pederson signing, it was reported that he’d be given near-everyday at-bats, although playing him against lefties would mitigate much of his value.

However it shakes out, the Cubs are a much better defensive team now with Marisnick on board. Somewhat amusingly, they’ve also now in effect swapped fourth outfielders with the Mets. Albert Almora Jr., non-tendered by the Cubs earlier in the winter, signed with New York this past week.

      It’s a waste. Another guy who cannot hit the ball for average or get on base. His career OBP is .280.

      That’s not inspiring depth. Who cares if he can occasionally hit HRs if he more often fails to hit or walk. Just another scrub signing by Jed, who has to hope Happ continues to trend upward and that Heyward doesn’t start to dip more.

      This team has no professional hitter on the bench. No guy to count on coming off the bench or subbing well on an off day for starters.

      I don’t often complain about pro money, but dude was given 4 million to be a below average bench role. They may as well have promoted one of their Triple A guys and saved the money.

    If hamstrings are healthy he plays a great CF. Living in Houston I always wondered if he received consistent ABs, could he hit better? 6’3” – 6’4” and has some power. If someone gives him 500 ABs can he hit 25 HRs and bat .270 with solid D in CF?

    • sascoach2003

      I tend to agree with you. I saw a lot of him when he was at NOLA in AAA, and thought that given consistent ABs, and working to cut down on some pitches that tie him up inside, he could be a Mark Canha type, .260-270, 20-25 HR, 80 RBI, 35 SB, solid defensive player.

          Canha never has stolen more than 7 and has had more than 58 RBI once (70) and he hit 20+ once. He is also a .249 hitter. Not .260-.270. He has actually only hit over .255 once. And I wouldn’t really call him a plus or even average defender considering he has had primarily below average defensive metrics his whole career

        Wong made no sense for the cubs. They believe in Hoerner, need to add pitching, and they have limited budget. Spending 16 million on Wong, would have made adding additional pitching impossible.

          Nico can play a super utility role for the cubs. They have an entire rotation of contact pitchers and Wong excels at defense. Another added bonus is he can lead off without striking out 200 times. He was the perfect fit for the cubs. He cost 16 million over 2 years, not sure he would of prevented the cubs from adding any of the remaining bargain pitchers on free agency.

      I agree with these comments below–Almora needed a change of scenery. He still has not been the same since hitting the child with the foul ball, which was of course not his fault…but I can understand how that might take a toll on him. Maybe in a different city he can get back to what he was–league-average hitter, great glove, solid clubhouse presence. I always liked Almora and hope he does well, even if it is with the mets.

        Almora had his worst year last year, during a weird season, and yet his bomb of a BA still has him at 40 points higher than Marisnick. JM has more power, but Almora played a very solid CF and was never given a chance to start bc he never developed his power.

        Almora should have been groomed to be a lead-off hitter, rather than the silliness of. all the non-traditional Maddeneque reimagining of what 1-4 hitters look like.

    I actually was able to watch Marisnick play in person, outside of 2017 I should mention, and he was fun to watch, even against San Francisco. I enjoyed watching him, because he was making diving plays, and as a CF myself, I love watching those. I believe he had 2 hits that day as well.

      I agree. Jeffress was their most consistent reliever last year. Sign him to a 1 year deal as well with a mutual option. We both know Kimbrel will struggle so Rossy and slowly move Jeffress/Ryan and Wick and Wieck with bullpen by committee.

      You got that right. Just remember baseball is a business. And just like any other business there are ups and downs. The downs catch up with every business sooner or later.

    With 2 of the three starting Outfielders in Boston LH hitters i was hoping the Sox would make a run for Marisnick. Most likely Kike gets his Outfield reps against Lefty pitchers

    I’m just a couch potato GM, but I feel like I would have rather the Cubs passed on Joc Pederson ($7 M) if they were to sign Jake Marisnick ($1 M).

    Could have probably also signed Brett Gardner ($5 M?) to platoon CF, and move Happ (a weak defender) to LF.

    Then use the extra $1 M to put toward bringing back Jeffress.

    Insurance. Smart move too. By the end, I bet they’re predicting Pederson/Happ/Heyward against righties. And Ervin/Marisnick/Happ against lefties. If Bote gets playing time and Bryant doesn’t get traded they could always play Bote at 3B, and go with Bryant/Marisnick/Ervin and spell Happ or plug Happ at 2B.

    All this talk about how he has potential with the bat and has some pop.

    He’s had 2 seasons over a 700 OPS. The same 2 are the only seasons he has produced above 100 OPS+

    Those two seasons would be 16 games last year and the 2017 trash can fest

      They got him for his glove late in games and spot starts. There is almost zero chance he is worse with a bat than Almora.

    honestly if was a cubs fan i wouldn’t worry about the “dumpster moves” i would be more concerned on how can we fix the problem of not being able to home-grow pitching. i feel that is the reason cubs farm is weak and they have an inflated payroll because they seem to have to buy pitching one way or another.

        i hope so and also hope they fixed the issues in milb why they can develop pitching either. i may hate the cubs but it’s more enjoyable watching the cards beat a good cubs team than cubbies of old
