Mariners Add Ryder Ryan To 40-Man Roster

By Anthony Franco | August 3, 2023 at 7:10pm CDT

The Mariners announced they’ve selected reliever Ryder Ryan onto the 40-man roster. He was immediately optioned to Triple-A Tacoma, so he’ll have to wait a little longer for his first MLB call. Seattle had an opening on the 40-man after designating Kolten Wong for assignment on Tuesday.

Ryan, 28, has spent seven years in the minors. Originally a 30th-round draft choice by Cleveland in 2016, he’s been traded twice. The right-hander went to the Mets at the ’17 deadline in the Jay Bruce deal and to the Rangers over the 2020-21 offseason as the player to be named later in the Todd Frazier swap. Ryan spent two years in Triple-A with Texas but never cracked the big league club and became a minor league free agent last winter.

The North Carolina product signed a minor league pact with Seattle. He’s spent the season in Tacoma, working to a 3.72 ERA through 38 2/3 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Ryan has solid if unspectacular peripherals — a 23% strikeout rate, 9.1% walk percentage and 48.4% grounder rate.

It’s unclear what spurred the M’s to select his contract without immediately bringing him to the MLB roster. Speculatively, it’s possible his minor league deal had contained an opt-out provision that required them to do so or allow him to head back to free agency. In any case, getting added to the 40-man gives him a good chance at securing a big league look down the stretch.

    Business as usual for the Mariners.
    They are right where they need to be, and any acquisitions are purely for the future (unless a play is tremendously good when he gets a look in a game).
    We’ll probably see this guy soon, like the article says.

      At 28, Ryan is a journeyman filler guy, not a prospect.

        True.
        Maybe my thinking was off, but it seems to me that the possibilities are the same regardless of age.
        The Mariners’ Edgar Martinez was 27 when he got his first look at the major leage level.
        A lot of people didn’t expect much of Edgar, either, myself included.
        We all got a pleasant surprise.

          Check your facts. Martinez was only 24, born in 1963 and debuted in 1987.

          That’s what the python said to little Mogli, “tust me” . . .
          Maybe so, maybe not. But we’ll find out.

          You’re right.

          You’re right, then.
          The record book is infallible. My aging memory is not.
          Good game on tonight.
          Go Mariners!

        Tell that to Paul Sewald.

          A much better pitcher with an actual MLB career who broke in at 26.

          Much better is a reach. Marginally is more like it.

          The difference between a guy with seven years in MLB and one with seven years in the minors. Bigger difference than you think.

          Not really, considering Sewald only pitched in the majors for 4 years until the Mariners picked him up and fixed him and turned him into a bona fide closer. Try again

          Still has had seven years and earned a closer role. Ryan never sniffed it.

          You obviously have zero sense of how difficult it is to make it to and stay in the majors.

    What about that game last night? Two homeruns for the Mariners one in the ninth by Marlowe a grand salami, to win the game, and one by the M’s front office. raising season ticket prices by 75% get out the rye bread, and mustard granny.

        Summer didn’t really feel the same for the first few years without Dave’s voice filling my home for three hours every night. We were truly spoiled.
