One of the neat veteran stories in Spring Training this year with the Seattle Mariners was the attempted return of veteran LHP Drew Pomeranz, whose last appearance in the major leagues came in 2021, prior to the debut of Julio Rodríguez. The 36 year old southpaw has started and relieved in his career, but was attempting a pure bullpen pathway to playing time at this point. With the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, he’s had some success, striking out 14 against six walks in 9.2 innings across nine appearances, for a 4.66/3.41 ERA/FIP. However, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Seattle is trading Pomeranz to the Chicago Cubs, presumably for cash considerations or a player to be named later of minimal note.
