Before you jump to any conclusions, just because you can’t find Matt Brash’s name on many ‘lists’ doesn’t mean the Mariners didn’t absolutely score when acquiring the righty on Monday.
With minutes to spare on the 2020 trade deadline, the Mariners sent righty reliever Taylor Williams to the Padres for Brash, a 2019 4th round pick. Brash (6-1, 180) is a starting pitcher.
A product of Niagara University, San Diego made Brash the 113th selection in the 2019 draft, and for good reason. He’s not going to be on many ‘top lists’, but the underlying data behind his stuff is exciting.
