The Mariners announced that right-hander Jesse Hahn has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma. Hahn cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. Since Hahn has more than three years’ worth of MLB service time, he has the right to reject that outright assignment in favor of free agency, but there isn’t yet any word on whether or not Hahn will test the market or stick in Seattle’s organization.
Hahn already quickly re-signed with the Mariners on a fresh minor league deal after they released him from a previous minors contract at the end of March, which might hint that Hahn will again stick around in Triple-A. Hahn’s return to the M’s ended up landing the righty his first taste of Major League action since 2021, after the Mariners selected his contract and deployed him in two games last week. Hahn threw four scoreless frames in those two appearances, albeit with three hits and four walks in that limited sample.
The 35-year-old Hahn has a 4.17 ERA over 315 1/3 career innings with the Padres, A’s, Royals, and Mariners. Health issues have cost him big chunks of his career, as Hahn has undergone two Tommy John surgeries, and he also didn’t pitch at all in 2022-23 while recovering from a shoulder issue. He returned to action to post a 4.29 ERA across 50 1/3 frames at the Triple-A level for the Dodgers and Mariners, as control issues continued to limit Hahn’s effectiveness.
Getting brash back would be huge for our bullpen so we don’t have to use people like Hahn or Bazardo in the 7th inning
Brash and Taylor.
The wild card is Kowar.
Cy Young couldn’t make this team hit better!
If he doesn’t pitch in the MLB again this season he’ll have an interesting 0-1 W-L record with a 0.00 ERA.
Because pitching isn’t this teams problem. It is hitting so your post meant to be a dig is true. In your ignorance you got it right one of those I got it right accidentally. Your insult turned to egg on your face.
Why did the guy give up 3 IBBs? Seems like a lot in only 4 innings.
He pitched only 2 innings. With ghost runner on 2nd to start both innings there are 2 of the IBB’s. The 3rd was I assume to get a preferred catchup against a hitter. Alvarez and Altuve were 2 of the walks, not sure who 3rd was. I’d imagine the 3rd player walked was one of those to 1st to create foces at every bag. Then either Alvarez or Altuve was to 1st and other was walked to load bases and get a preferred matchup.
