Mariners Acquire Eduard Bazardo

By Mark Polishuk | August 1, 2023 at 1:50pm CDT

The Mariners have acquired right-hander Eduard Bazardo from the Orioles in exchange for minor league righty Logan Rinehart, FanSided’s Robert Murray reports (Twitter link).  Baltimore designated Bazardo for assignment two days ago.

Bazardo has seen limited action in each of the last three Major League seasons, debuting with three innings for the Red Sox in 2021, 16 1/3 more frames (over 12 appearances) in 2022, and then 2 1/3 innings over three games with the Orioles this year.  The Sox also DFA’ed Bazardo after last season and he opted for minor league free agency, landing with the O’s on a minors deal during the offseason.  That minor league contract was selected in early July, with Bazardo only getting a few weeks of big league time before being designated once more.

Turning 27 next month, Bazardo has posted some solid numbers throughout his minor league career, including a 3.05 ERA, 27.2% strikeout rate, and 7% walk rate over 38 1/3 frames with the Orioles’ Triple-A affiliate this season.  He makes for some interesting bullpen depth for a Mariners team who just dealt Paul Sewald, and could potentially have more openings in the bullpen depending on how other moves may shake out on deadline day.

Rinehart was a 16th-round pick for the Mariners in the 2019 draft, though between the canceled 2020 minor league and a Tommy John surgery, he missed two full seasons of work.  Returning to the mound in 2022, Rinehart has mostly pitched with Seattle’s high-A affiliate and looked good, particularly with a 2.84 ERA, 51.2% grounder rate, and 33.6% strikeout rate over 38 innings.  This is Rinehart’s first season as a full-time reliever, so the 25-year-old’s ultimate future may be in the bullpen.

    Why did this make me laugh thinking it was Eduardo bastardo? What’s that from?

    Baltimore seems to be selling and buying, which seems pretty smart in their position. They need a big buy though to put them over the top.

      Bazardo was DFA’d, so they were going to likely lose him anyway. It’s not buy or a sell…it’s a smart move at least getting something back.

      Swap out BAL for Seattle- you right! Both teams have owners who will not spend a lot of money to get behind their young players. At least BAL can develop their hitters!

    So the Tigers just traded Lorenzen for a Phillies prospect that wouldn’t have been in the Orioles’ top 20. Any Os fans think this makes any sense that Baltimore wouldn’t have offered someone better?

      Makes me think Baltimore wasn’t offering on Lorenzen anymore.

      Lorenzen isn’t worth better.

    Precursor to a trade for Gilbert or Kirby? I can dream, right?

    Thornton, Bazardo, are what will replace Sewald. and the other three are a slight improvement compare that with Texas, who just keeps spending. Where is that money coming from? The Angeles are no slouches themselves, Houston is bringing back part of their old pitching crew which could, should overtake Texas. So getting back with the M’s they are at a place of unspectacular expectations yet the element of surprise does permeates on the field of dreams.
