Mariners Outright Jose Rodriguez

By Anthony Franco | July 7, 2023 at 10:18pm CDT

The Mariners announced this afternoon that right-hander José Rodríguez was sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma. Seattle apparently placed him on waivers this week without formally announcing the move.

Rodríguez signed a minor league pact with Seattle over the winter. They selected his contract during the season’s second week, bringing the 27-year-old up to the big leagues for the first time in three years. Rodríguez pitched once, tossing three innings of three-run ball, before being optioned back out.

He has otherwise spent the season working out of Tacoma’s starting rotation. Rodríguez has pitched to a 7.53 ERA across 55 innings in the Pacific Coast League. He’s inducing grounders at a solid 47.3% clip but has a well below-average 15.3% strikeout rate.

Since Seattle had not previously designated Rodríguez for assignment, the outright clears a spot on the 40-man roster. After Tommy Milone’s recent DFA, the 40-man count is at 38. Rodríguez has been outrighted on multiple occasions in his career, so he’ll have the ability to test minor league free agency if he doesn’t want to stick as a non-roster player in Tacoma.

    Didn’t have my glasses on and read this as “Mariners outright Julio Rodriguez” and almost had a heart attack.

    Seattle has now won 6 of their last 7 games, yet have only gained 1 game on a wild card. They’re 4 back.

    I know some fans will wonder if there is a trade brewing because of the open roster spots, but there will be promotions before too long. O’Brien and Hancock, for example, aren’t far off.

      The WC is going to be tough. With the way AL East is playing and Houston or Texas it might take winning the west to get in. I’m with you I think we have some promotion options in pitching and hiting. Go Ms

        Okay, so let’s go for broke.

        Texas has command of the West. The AL East is definitely the biggest obstacle, but a healthy Houston is also dangerous and they still sit comfortably in control of a WC.

        I don’t think Seattle’s odds are good. All I ask is that they make moves that focus on 2024-2025, rather than a fire sale or sacrificing solid prospects for rentals.

        Selling high on an arm & Teo could do wonders.

          I agree, and thank you, old friend.
          It could get very interesting.

          It is going to be tough. I hope also no fire sale. I don’t think they will resort to that. They are very close and not the time to tear it down yet.

          Hey Stevil…just an FYI.

          Would somebody please tell Stevil to unmute me?

          He and I had an argument a few years ago, but ‘to forgive is divine,’ as the philosopher said, and I would dearly love to talk with him again.

          Stevil truly is a fount of wisdom, but some things will bear discussion even so.

          Tell Stevil I said, “Please forgive me, friend.”

    Wow, and he just won rookie of the year too.

    I don’t even think Bobby Crosby had a bigger fall off.

    I’m up to bat. I think you guy’s have this wrong. Pitching is what will carry this team despite the loses, they are able to compensate. Lately the pitching has had it’s hiccups, but more recent they have shown what it’s capable of, this should continue. The hitting is the dark horse they may have too many sluggers, and not enough contact hitters, that could use some tweaking, having said that most lineups could use better hitting. That’s not to say they can’t get on a role like they have been. It was thought that they needed one or two more hitters, so wait, look at Cabby, Wong they may have return to form, I have seen some improvements. Kelenic has yet to get his groove on. Ford has been solid gold, Now for him to keep it going. There’s your DH. Ford really does have a better idea. The hitting isn’t all that far away. One more might make the difference another words this is not a desperate situation that can be improve on so why all the pessimism? this should continue to get better.

      Lee, you had a good at-bat right there. Good contact hitting.
      About Ford, the main thing is that most young hitters have to go through a slump when the opposing pitchers get them figured out and ‘get a book on them’.
      Can he maintain?

      All this just makes me more and more eager for the game each day, just to find out what they can do; what is possible.
      Will Seattle actually win the 4-game series against the Astros? They have a fine chance of doing just that. Woo needs a great game tonight!

      It’s one thing if they were ‘sluggers’ like you say, but they’re not, look at the numbers. However, that seems to be the M’s thought process and it’s apparent with the huge amount of strikeouts. The team is lacking contact hitters. We won’t win crap with a lineup full of .037-.250 batting averages. A competitive team must have a few guys batting .275 and higher.

        I agree the thing is, last year the teams offense was not all that different they had Frazier, Santana, and a different right fielder, and his name is at the tip of my tongue the one who’s playing in SF. now, but is always getting injured and the last time I heard he’s now injured once again. So changes are not that much. Teo replaces in right. Wong on second, Ford as DH are there improvements? not really, though you could make a case for Cabby coming on as well as Ford seemingly out of nowhere that is how a lot of things happen. Batting average are not always static unless you’re the Astros who’s lineup is made up of mostly all stars. The one area of differences might be the pitching, this year we may have an edge on them. This years trading deadline they need to think hard on players like Teo. and Wong as well as Kelenic This mention of picking up one or two players has me skeptical but some movement however slight might be better than nothing. They may decide on a delay with this or it does seem their at a crossroad with this nevertheless I do expect some action soon with this.
        Bytheway terrible way to lose a game last night, could not buy a hit.
