This is a classic buy-low move for the M's, who have openings in the bullpen after non-tendering JT Chargois and Austin Voth last week. Furthermore, the M's haven't had a dominant lefty in the bullpen in years, utilizing Gabe Speier, Kirby Snead and Tayler Saucedo out there in 2024.
Pomeranz has pitched for the Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Brewers. He was part of the 2018 Red Sox team that won the World Series, though he went just 2-6 that season.
Lifetime, Pomeranz is 48-58 with a 3.91 ERA. He made the All-Star Game in 2016. Owner of one of the best curveballs in baseball, he could be a tough matchup for opposing lefties, of which there are several in the American League West. Yordan Alvarez, Kyle Tucker, Lawrence Butler, Corey Seager and Evan Carter all come to mind as guys the M's will have to find a way to subdue in 2025.
The Mariners went 85-77 this past season, missing the playoffs.
