Royals Acquire Anthony Misiewicz

By Darragh McDonald | August 1, 2022 at 1:45pm CDT

The Mariners announced that they have traded left-hander Anthony Misiewicz to the Royals for cash considerations. The lefty had been designated for assignment yesterday.

Misiewicz, 27, seemed to have a nice breakout during the 2020 season, throwing 20 innings out of Seattle’s bullpen during that shortened campaign with a 4.05 ERA, with a 28% ground ball rate, solid 7.2% walk rate and excellent 30.1% strikeout rate. Unfortunately, he couldn’t quite carry that over into the following seasons, as his ERA shot up to 4.61 in both 2021 and here in 2022. His strikeout rate fell to 22.5% last year and dropped even further to 14% here in 2022. He got optioned to Triple-A in June and has fared better in a small sample of 12 1/3 innings, logging a 3.65 ERA, 23.6% strikeout rate, 10.9% walk rate and 51.5% ground ball rate.

For the Royals, they will add a controllable reliever to their lefty bullpen depth chart. Misiewicz came into the season with exactly two years of MLB service time and won’t be able to cross the three-year mark this year due to his having already spent about six weeks in the minors. They can keep him in the minors and see if he can get into a good groove. Amir Garrett is currently the only southpaw in the big league club’s bullpen, meaning there’s a path for Misiewicz to earn his way back onto the roster.

      Why do you think that? Seattle has a solid track record of developing BP arms. This is pretty nice buy low depth.

      Actually we have several of our relievers on the injury list and one won’t be returning this year due to Tommy John. That guy is a southpaw we also have a southpaw that we option to AAA and his ERA there is like 17 not 1.7 but 17 point something (Or it might still be 20). We aren’t desperate, we actually need a lefty reliever

    He isn’t a terrible pick up for the royals. As a mariner fan who watched him pitch, they could have much worse

    Gotta think this is a precursor to another move for the M’s.

      The trade was the move after the Mariners designated Anthony Misiewicz for assignment. on Sunday.

      Trading a DFA’d AAA reliever for cash isn’t really an indicator of Seattle making another move… Though they really need a bat or two and/or another bullpen piece or help at catcher.

        The DFA was by definition a precursor to another move.

          Trading Misiewicz, who isn’t on the 40 man roster, in no way sets up an additional trade for Seattle. Trading an irrelevant minor leaguer is… irrelevant.

          We’ll he was on the 40 man until two days ago when he was DFAd, presumably to make room on the 40 man for someone else.

    Amir Garrett seems overdue to start a bench-clearing incident, doesn’t he average 2 or 3 of those per season?
