News on a former Yankee. We love that right?
The White Sox have shipped right-handed reliever Ron Marinaccio to the Padres, the teams announced Friday afternoon.
After being designated for assignment earlier this week to make room for free agent Martín Pérez, Marinaccio's future in Chicago was short-lived. Rather than risk losing him on waivers, the Sox found a trade partner in San Diego.
As you may remember, Marinaccio made a name for himself during three solid seasons with the Yankees, putting up a 6-5 record, a 3.22 ERA, 1.186 WHIP, and 10.8 strikeouts per nine innings, with a career WAR of 1.8. His rookie year in 2022 was especially impressive: a 2.05 ERA, 1.045 WHIP, and 11.5 strikeouts per nine innings over 40 appearances. Yankee fans appreciated the dependable right-hander who showed flashes of real potential.
Baseball, though, is a business. After a quick stop in Chicago, Marinaccio is now heading to the sunny shores of San Diego.
Best of luck in the new digs, Ron—you’ll always have fans rooting for you!
