"The Mariners have signed right-hander Pop to a minor league contract, hoping to refine his pitching and improve his performance as a bullpen arm."
"Pop, previously with the Blue Jays, faced challenges last season but showed potential with a new cutter that generated strikeouts and ground-ball outs."
The Seattle Mariners have signed right-handed pitcher Pop to a minor league contract after he was designated for assignment and released by the Blue Jays due to elbow inflammation. Pop has had a challenging 2024 season with a 5.59 ERA but has demonstrated potential with his new cutter pitch. The Mariners are optimistic that refining his skills, particularly his cutter and leveraging his velocity, could lead him to be a reliable bullpen option. His history includes time with the Dodgers, Orioles, Marlins, and Blue Jays, accumulating significant Major League experience over the last four years.
