Acquired by Seattle from the Padres on Wednesday in a trade, Vincent faced the only organization he had played for in a minor-league game on the Mariners’ off day.
PEORIA, Ariz. — Nick Vincent has spent all of his spring trainings on the back fields of the Padres’ side of the Peoria Sports Complex. Drafted by San Diego in 2008, he has practiced and pitched on those fields, sometimes against his teammates in intrasquad games.
So pitching there again Thursday wasn’t unfamiliar. Wearing the Mariners’ Northwest Green spring-training jersey and pitching for another organization, well, that was new.
