The Mariners announced that left-hander Daniel Zamora was claimed off waivers from the Mets. Zamora was designated for assignment just yesterday by New York, and now will quickly head to a new team.
Originally a 40th-round pick for the Pirates in the 2015 draft, Zamora reached the majors and posted a 4.08 ERA over 17 2/3 innings with the Mets during the 2018-19 seasons, striking out 24 of his 77 batters faced. He didn’t make an appearance during the 2020 campaign, and Zamora has been hit hard in Triple-A action this season, with a whopping 20.25 ERA over four appearances and 6 2/3 innings for Triple-A Syracuse.
Despite those recent results, Zamora found a new home in short order. Like many teams this season, Seattle has been dealing with a number of pitching injuries, and also put four players on the COVID list yesterday. The Mariners currently have Aaron Fletcher as the only left-handed option in their bullpen, so there appears to be an opportunity for Zamora to find a place back in the majors.
Seriously..is Seattle going to claim every players DFA’d or released by Mets?
Probably…
Guess They Think They Didn’t Get enough for Diaz & Cano ….
Zamora was horrible, not surprised Seattle picked him up, they have all the Mets garbage
Keep giving us your garbage please. If you have any more Kelenic’s or Dunn’s you would like to throw our way we would gladly be your dump.
Yeah cause kelenic is on fire lol, I know its early in his career, but he is gonna end up overrated like most prospects. I’ll keep Diaz no matter some may say thanks
Justin Smoak, Dustin Ackley, Jesus Montero.. just a few of the finest Seattle hitting prospects.
Don’t forget Evan White, who is now batting .165 across 84 games and 306 plate appearances. Slash line of .235/.308/.544. OPS+ 53. That pre-MLB extension isn’t looking good. He and Dylan Moore look overmatched. Maybe Dee Strange-Gordon to spell Moore?
yeah because Dunn is such a stud, the kid is not all that good.
Just 57 hits in 87 MLB innings. Struggles with control. He can become a good big-league starter.
As a long time Mets fan this makes me incensed!
you give up on a young left handed pitcher and you want to talk about GARBAGE!
You keep Jacob Barnes who is a cast off by the Angels who are dying for pitching who has given up 4 FOUR Home Runs in 11 innings pitched includieng a walk off the other night and his FIRST pitch as a MET was a grand Slam!!
Seattle Zamora is not garbage and he will pitch well for you when he is out of NY
Secondly Diaz Sucks! he will never be a consistent reliever
Give us back Kelenic any day. Kid is still young and has moved up to fast. He will be great!
relax with “great” can we watch him for a couple years first.
What is it are we labeling Kelenic a bust before a month in the show or are we waiting and watching for a few years?
I bet if we went to any team we would find just as many misses as with Seattle. You also need to understand Smoak came from Texas supposedly ready to play. We didn’t bring him up. Montero was from the Yankees was supposed to be amazing. He was not brought up through our ranks. Ackley plain and simple was brought up to soon. You forgot the biggest disappointment in Zunino. He was supposed to be an All Star C his glove was excellent hitting a bit sub par. Then you had the run of 3 guys who have to be in top 5 of all time worst GMs.
No Dipoto is not one of them. Not sure why Angel fans can’t get over him. He might have sucked there but has done a good job here. How many of his moves was Arte involved in? Easy to find bad stretches of player development etc in any org. Seattle’s front office has been pathetic for years. Which shows in the W L record. Also the playoff drought.
In the young crop of players 1 or 2 will probably be a bust. Doubt it will be Kelenic. White was drafted for his glove not his bat. Hopefully his IL stint will help. Hopefully they keep him down and let him hit AAA pitching and get confidence. Would be happy to see .,275 out of him.
really? tapia is better.
Impressive nitwittery in the Mets FO, as they kept trying to use Zamora as a lefty specialist in 2018 and 2019 despite his significant reverse platoon splits throughout the minors.
Any team with any kind of respectable track record salvaging pitchers will be able to turn Zamora into a decent #5 or 6 man out of the bullpen. He’ll be fine.
They can have Yamamoto too
