Mariners Release Cory Abbott

By Darragh McDonald | April 4, 2024 at 7:16pm CDT

The Mariners released right-hander Cory Abbott yesterday, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He’s now a free agent and can be signed by any club.

Abbott, 28, signed a minor league deal with the club in January and was in big league camp until being reassigned to minor league camp at the beginning of March. He was with Triple-A Tacoma long enough to make one regular season start lasting three innings, during which he allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while recording two strikeouts.

Selected by the Cubs in the second round of the 2017 draft, he was a notable prospect coming up the minors but hasn’t been able to find success in the majors or in Triple-A. Prior to the pandemic, he posted a 2.84 earned run average in the minors, getting as high as Double-A. Since the minors were canceled in 2020, he’s pitched in parts of four Triple-A seasons with a 5.51 ERA in 189 1/3 innings. He has struck out an impressive 28.5% of batters faced in that time but has also given out walks at a 12.9% clip.

He’s also thrown 104 2/3 innings at the big league level from 2021 to 2023 but with a 6.02 ERA. His 20.2% strikeout rate and 11.4% walk rate in that time were both a few points worse than league average.

Abbott’s lack of results at both the major league and Triple-A levels will tamp down his interest, but the Triple-A strikeouts are interesting. If any club feels they have the key to unlocking something with Abbott, he can be had for another no-risk minor league deal. If he eventually winds his way back to the majors, he is out of options but has just over a year of service time and therefore has years of potential club control.

    Just normal housekeepng by the Mariners.
    We wish Abbott well. Maybe a change of scenes, change in coaching . . who knows?
    In any event, the team moves on to deal with other pressing matters. We hope they can get rolling tomorrow against the Brewers.
    Go Mariners!

      Is he related to former Mariners pitcher Paul Abbott?? There is a resemblance.

      Yeah, I would venture to guess there are a few regulars who may have played some minor league ball, but I doubt many played at the highest level. That one Reds fan played a bit, I believe. Otherwise, I don’t know of any.

        In a parallel life in the multiverse, I played the hot corner for the Dodgers.

        Before you go thinking it’s merely delusions of grandeur…I was just a solid, steady 3B type ala a Turner or a Blowers.

          Power to that. I have a similar alternative. But blowers OR turner?! There is quite the delta between the two.

    He has a mugshot so maybe the Dallas Cowboys could use him.
