The Mariners have acquired outfielder John Andreoli from the Twins, as per reporter Joe Veyera (Twitter link). Andreoli appeared in the lineup tonight for Triple-A Tacoma.
Andreoli is back for his third separate stint with the Mariners organization, originally signing with the M’s in the 2017-18 offseason and eventually making his MLB debut with the team last May. Andreoli was claimed off waivers by the Orioles in August and then claimed back by Seattle after the season, kicking off a busy winter of activity that saw Andreoli briefly join the Rangers and Giants on waiver claims before being traded to Minnesota in March.
After that whirlwind, Andreoli ended up batting .196/.324/.359 over 185 PA for the Twins’ Triple-A affiliate. Over 3458 career plate appearances in the minors, Andreoli (who turns 29 next week) has a .266/.370/.386 slash line, plus an impressive 250 stolen bases in 312 chances. As a big leaguer, Andreoli appeared in 20 games with the Mariners and Orioles last season, amassing 67 PA. With extensive experience at all three outfield positions, Andreoli will once again give the Mariners some outfield depth at the Triple-A level.
