標題: [外電] Fernando Rodney DFA
時間: Sun Aug 23 14:26:53 2015
The Mariners have designated former closer Fernando Rodney for assignment,
the club announced following Saturday’s loss to the White Sox. In
corresponding moves, the M’s also optioned righty Danny Farquhar to
Triple-A, called up southpaw Roenis Elias and purchased the contract of
right-hander Logan Kensing.
Thanks in large part to a 1.42 HR/9 (more than double his career average),
Rodney posted a 5.68 ERA over 50 2/3 IP this season, a performance that cost
him his job as the Mariners’ closer. It’s probably unlikely that Rodney
will be claimed or traded during his DFA period given that he already cleared
revocable trade waivers last week. Rodney is still averaging 94.8mph on his
fastball (same as last season) so it’s possible another team could see the
spike in homers as a fluke and look to sign the 38-year-old veteran as
bullpen depth before the rosters expand on September 1.
The Mariners are responsible for the approximately $1.5MM in salary still
owed to Rodney for the remainder of the season, except for the pro-rated
portion of the minimum salary should Rodney sign elsewhere. The right-hander
signed a two-year, $14MM free agent deal in the 2013-14 offseason and
performed extremely well in the first season of the contract, posting a 2.85
ERA, 10.3 K/9 and 2.71 K/BB rate over 66 1/3 innings en route to a
league-best 48 saves. Rodney and his new agents will undoubtedly point to
this recent dominance when the righty looks for a new contract in free agency
this year, though obviously his 2015 numbers will greatly diminish his market.
Kensing has spent the last two seasons with the Mariners’ Triple-A
affiliate, and he has a 2.30 ERA, 6.6 K/9 and 2.56 K/BB rate over 31 1/3
innings this season. Kensing has appeared in just one Major League game
since 2009, pitching two-thirds of an inning for the Rockies in 2013.
