"Jacques, 30, was a 33rd-round pick by the Pirates all the way back in 2018. He climbed the minor league ladder with Pittsburgh but ultimately departed the organization following the 2022 season without making it to the big leagues. He signed on with the Red Sox and made his major league debut with the club in 2023, but posted a lackluster 5.06 ERA in 26 2/3 innings of work."
"He elected minor league free agency during the offseason and landed with the Dodgers on a non-roster deal last November. His 6.04 ERA in 22 1/3 innings of work with the club's Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City left much to be desired and prevented him from making it to the big leagues in L.A., but the Mariners were sufficiently intrigued by his solid underlying metrics to roll the dice on him back in June and acquire him in a minor trade with the Dodgers."
Joe Jacques, 30, was a 33rd-round pick by the Pirates in 2018 who climbed the minors but left Pittsburgh after 2022 without a major-league appearance. He signed with Boston, debuted in 2023, and posted a 5.06 ERA in 26 2/3 innings. He made one big-league appearance in 2024 before being designated for assignment and claimed by Arizona, where he again made a single appearance before another DFA. He signed a non-roster deal with the Dodgers, struggled in Triple-A, was traded to Seattle in June, continued to struggle in Tacoma, and was outrighted to Triple-A.
