Mariners Add Danny Farquhar To Coaching Staff

By Darragh McDonald | January 10, 2024 at 5:03pm CDT

The Mariners announced that they have added Danny Farquhar to the coaching staff of manager Scott Servais. The former big leaguer will have the title of pitching strategist and assistant pitching coach.

“I am thrilled to return to the Mariners organization after pitching here for 3 seasons,” said Farquhar in a press release from the club. “I am greatly looking forward to working with our dynamic pitchers, as well as Scott and our coaching staff.”

Farquhar, now 36, pitched in seven big league seasons from 2011 to 2018, spending 2013 to 2015 with the Mariners. He also pitched for the Blue Jays, Rays and White Sox, ultimately tossing 272 1/3 innings with a 3.93 earned run average, 26.9% strikeout rate and 9.2% walk rate. His major league career ended on a scary note, as he collapsed in the dugout due to a brain aneurysm after a game pitching for the White Sox in April of 2018. He was eventually cleared to play in November and signed a minor league deal with the Yankees for 2019, but he made just two appearances on the farm in June before being released.

He announced his retirement that August and has since been coaching in the White Sox’ system, most recently working as the pitching coach for the Double-A Birmingham Barons. He’ll now get a chance to jump to the major league level, working with Mariners pitching coach Pete Woodworth.

        I can never see his name and not say, in the Swedish pig voice, “Lord Farquar. He huffed, he puffed…and he signed an eviction notice.”

      Yes. The Mariners are getting serious now.
      This coaching addition is not just some more of the low-level “tinkering” that I have made light of. recently.
      This pitching strategy is where the rubber meets the road.

    Always liked Danny when he was here pitching for us. Was surprised to see how good his numbers were. Joke all you want but I think this is a great coaching move for our young aces. Welcome back to The PNW Danny!

      Isn’t he the one who was pitching in Houston and heard the pounding on the garbage can lid? He called the catcher to the mound to talk about it. The Sox broke the news of the scandal!

    I only recognize the name because he was the first pitcher to say something was up when the Astros banged their trash cans. Jomboy had a good video about it.

      Indeed, part of the strategy to bean the ‘Striks the little guy and the guero to his right.

      Calm down! They’ll be to the torso, as part of the strategy for rectification/ recompense.

        Mr. Paddyo, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

          Pardon me, it was fairly obscure. 3 things to be familiar with to get my facetious comment’s meaning about pitching strategy:

          “Striks is short for Asterisks
          The little guy is not Eddie Gaedel, plays 2nd base, and is a likely HoF’er
          AND, Guero is slang for blondie in Spanish

    Gotta love the guy. Seeing him collapse with an aneurysm was frightening. You have to root for a guy that comes back from such a setback and gives it another go.
