Four days after being cut by the Seattle Mariners, all-star relief pitcher Drew Pomeranz was re-signed to a minor league contract, per baseball columnist Jon Heyman.
This comes as the Mariners begin their season against the Athletics on Thursday.
In the offseason, Pomeranz and the Mariners agreed to a minor league deal, but he requested to be released after not making the Opening Day roster. He has been in the league since 2011 and made the All-Star Game in 2016.
Pomeranz hasn’t pitched in a major league game since 2021 due to a string of injuries.
He has shown promise in spring training with 10 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings pitched in the Cactus League.
Pomeranz had previously pitched for the Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Milwaukee Brewers, and Los Angeles Angels. In 2024, Pomeranz signed a minor league deal with the Angels with the hope that he would become an asset in their bullpen.
Injuries have beset him and left him toiling in the league.
