The Rangers announced they’ve released veteran reliever Nick Vincent from his minor league contract. He’s now a free agent.
Vincent signed with Texas in March. He has gone on to make fifteen appearances at Triple-A Round Rock, tossing 15 1/3 innings of 4.11 ERA ball with a strong 29.7% strikeout rate and a slightly elevated 9.5% walk rate. Despite that decent performance, Texas has elected to cut Vincent loose rather than give him a major league look.
The 34-year-old righty shouldn’t have a hard time finding another opportunity elsewhere. He saw big league action in each season from 2012-20 and has typically been a steady, reliable option in the middle innings. Vincent has a career 3.38 ERA at the big league level, but he’s pitched to a 4.43 mark in each of the past two seasons.
Bad mechanics or terrible photo?
Yes.
Nick, have your agent call the Mets.
The Blue Jays should sign him.
Reds should look into him. As a Reds fan im begging for bullpen pieces, literally anyone.
I think the reds have already tried “literally anyone”. They need to trade from strength to actually get major league arms. Castillini should know that the vegetables in the dumpster aren’t edible. Time to get some arms that are ripe.
Yeah, Jays will sign literally any pitcher, See you in Buffalo soon Nick
