Mariners Sign Trevor Gott

By Anthony Franco | November 30, 2022 at 4:30pm CDT

November 30: Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that Gott’s salary will be $1.2MM. The Mariners announced the deal shortly thereafter.

November 28: The Mariners are in agreement with reliever Trevor Gott on a one-year contract, reports Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic (on Twitter). Financial terms have not yet been reported. Gott is a Sports One Athlete Management client. Seattle’s 40-man roster count will jump to 38 once the deal is finalized.

Gott signed a somewhat surprising big league contract with the Brewers last offseason. He’d spent the entire 2021 campaign in Triple-A in the Giants organization, impressing the Milwaukee front office with a 31% strikeout rate at the top minor league level. Milwaukee jumped early in the offseason to add him, and he played a fairly significant role in their middle innings mix this past season.

The right-hander tallied 45 2/3 innings across 45 outings. The results were mixed, as he managed just a 4.14 ERA while surrendering eight home runs (1.58 per nine innings). He paired that with quality strikeout and walk marks, though, fanning a slightly above-average 23.7% of opponents against a 6.5% walk rate. He averaged around 95 MPH on his fastball and just north of 91 MPH on a cutter that served as his top secondary offering. Gott’s 10.5% swinging strike percentage and 43.7% grounder rate were right around the respective league marks, and he held right-handed hitters to a meager .200/.243/.333 line in 111 plate appearances.

MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projected Gott for a $1.4MM arbitration salary this winter, and the Brewers instead opted to non-tender him. His roughly average peripherals in 2022 were enough to land a 40-man spot with Seattle, and he figures to have an inside track at an Opening Day bullpen job. Gott has exhausted his minor league option years, so the M’s will either have to carry him on the big league roster or make him available via waivers.

With between four and five years of major league service time, Gott would again be eligible for arbitration next offseason if he holds his roster spot all year. He could be a multi-year bullpen pickup for president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto and his staff if he performs well. Gott has also suited up for the Angels, Nationals and Giants in parts of seven seasons at the big league level.

The Mariners have an excellent bullpen that ranked sixth in the majors this past season in ERA at 3.33. Seattle relievers placed fifth with a 26.6% strikeout rate, and only the Orioles blew fewer leads in the late innings. That was a key part of the M’s winning 90 games for a second consecutive season and securing a Wild Card berth. Seattle subtracted from that with the deal that sent Erik Swanson to Toronto to bring in Teoscar Hernández, but they’ll bring back Andrés Muñoz, Diego Castillo, Matt Brash, Paul Sewald and Penn Murfee. Gott figures to work in lower-leverage spots, at least initially, to deepen the group available to manager Scott Servais.

      I can imagine Brewers fans being frustrated this off-season, but not over losing Gott.

      That’s also not how sensoring works.

        Disadvantage is right. I’m not sad to see Gott go. I swear anytime I saw him come in the game with a lead, Gott got got. I’d pretty much turn the channel when I saw him enter games.

      Pretty much what everyone said outside of the front office when they signed:
      – Erik Swanson
      – Paul Sewald
      – Drew Steckenrider
      – etc

        We traded James Paxton for Swanson and change. He never signed.

        Paul Sewald and Steckenrider yes. Casey Sadler is another good point.

    Mike Rizzo traded away a .300 hitter for Gott, who never lived up to his promise for the Nats, despite them giving him many opportunities. Such is life as a reliever. If he can be more consistently decent, good for him, but I’ll believe when I see it.

    Gott may be a good get, but chances are he may have got more than he was worth if the Brewers got him to arbitration. Got gets outs but sometimes gets in trouble and can’t get out of the jam he got himself into. The Mariners got Gott but I think he’ll not get them much in the long run.

      Well done, statman. I counted 8 uses of “got” or “get” in your post. Very effective demonstration of how often we use these words in casual English in combination with interesting baseball analysis!

    He’s with the worst agency in sport. You take away Rizzo and they have like three clients. We’ve all seen Jerry Maguire, and the two monkeys who run that agency are even worse.

    @Ignorant- Your avatar is a picture of one the worst baseball stadiums ever constructed. The Kingdome. Gone in about 15 years. 2nd only to Sick Stadium. Sooooo bad the team moved to Milwaukee after one year.
    You must be proud.

      Well I do believe the Kingdome was around longer than 15 years. I went to the first event there. Our youth group went to see Billy Graham there. I went to see the Dome not some old preacher. It sucked as a BB stadium was great for FB. Basketball left a lot to be desired there too. It was an end of an era but seeing the BB field being built was cool. You could stand on the 300 level and look into the field for a long time.

      Sick stadium was built for a minor league in the 30s. Was never meant for an MLB team. The league made the team start 3 years before it was supposed to. KC got sued and had to start early they rushed the expansion and were doing it during the season.

      If they would have started on time the park would have been done and just fine. They were supposed to start work on a Dome stadium but it got delayed. The team was sold to a shady guy that turned out to be the commissioner. Selig had lost the bid to bring a team to Milwaukee so he went in the back door to get one. I don’t know I was young back then but my dad said it was all a set up. Selig had a hand in starting them early knowing it would most likely fail. Again I don’t know for sure. Just an interesting fact.

      I do know I went to a couple games there and had fun. Went to a double header that was a long day for a young kid but fun. Sick Stadium was a land mark was sad to see it sit and do nothing then get torn down. They could have kept it up and let HS schools play there. Anyway it was never built for an MLB team.

      You Angel guys are busy creating new names to bash on the city. Which is fine. It hurts to know your team has almost no shot at the playoffs for years. You can bang on us all you want.
