Vincent has been waiting eagerly over the past five years for his first chance to be arbitration-eligible. After exceeding his rookie status in 2013, Vincent put in solid work for the San Diego Padres before being shipped to the Mariners in time for the 2016 season.
Vincent played his most prominent role with the Mariners, tossing the ball for a career-high 60.1 frames. He also finished twice as many games than he ever had in the past, recording three saves along the way.
With Edwin Diaz filling in the closer’s role, Vincent will most likely be competing in the spring for the setup role against Arquimedes Caminero, Evan Scribner, and Steve Cishek (once he returns from injury).
