Mariners Outright Juan Then

By Darragh McDonald | August 12, 2023 at 1:40pm CDT

The Mariners announced that right-hander Juan Then has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma. It had not been previously announced that he was designated for assignment, so this move drops their 40-man roster count to 39.

Then, 23, was added to the Mariners’ roster in November of 2020 to protect him from being selected in the Rule 5 draft. A starting pitching prospect at that time, he posted a 6.46 ERA over 14 High-A starts in 2021 and then missed most of 2022 due to injury, only logging 12 innings in the minors.

This year, he’s been used primarily as a reliever. He tossed 11 innings in the majors with a 4.91 ERA, only striking out 10.4% of batters faced but keeping the ball on the ground at a 63.4% clip. But in 26 minor league frames, his ERA is an unsightly 10.04.

Since Then was added to the roster almost three years ago, he’s in his final option season and will be out of options next year. That fact, combined with his poor results of late, likely led to him passing through waivers unclaimed. This is his first outright and he has less than three years of service time, meaning he won’t have the right to reject this assignment in favor of free agency. He’ll stay in the organization without occupying a roster spot but will qualify for minor league free agency at season’s end if not added back onto the roster.

    Here come the “then” jokes from the more intellectually blighted hangers-on.

    More Mariners business as usual, on the way to the World Series.
    T-Mobile’s gonna rock come October!

        Seriously.

        Juan Than is a left-handed catcher. How anyone could mix them up is beyond me.

      I’m so distraught over disappointing you with my blightedness, I’m not sure that I can carry on. But I’ll try nonetheless.
      After all, you are of course being forced to read them, right?

        I knew a guy named Hugh Farr who used to use that same expression. He was called Foghorn usually.

    There is going to be some significant turnover in the Mariner organization this offseason. This is just one of many spaces they’ll need to clear.

    Please go put a waiver claim on Kristian Robinson. He would be a great high upside add for the 40 man.

    And then the Then jokes keep coming. I do recall Then was traded to Tampa,.. then, and again. Then was then traded back to the M.s the following year. They must have thought Then was someone of interest.
