"Right-hander Nick Anderson has reached a deal with the Mariners, according to a report from Joel Sherman of the New York Post. It's a somewhat unusual situation, as Anderson had been on the Rockies' 40-man roster and pitched in an MLB game as recently as August 27. According to the transactions log on Anderson's MLB.com profile page, the Rockies optioned Anderson to Triple-A on August 29 and he elected free agency just yesterday."
"The 35-year-old hurler made 12 appearances for the Rockies this season and pitched to an ugly 6.14 ERA, but the vast majority of the damage against him came in a five-run debut outing on July 26. In 11 appearances during the month of August, Anderson posted a more respectable 3.29 ERA, albeit with a 4.95 FIP and a strikeout rate of just 19.2%."
Nick Anderson has reached an agreement with the Seattle Mariners after electing free agency following the Rockies' decision to option him. Anderson was on Colorado's 40-man roster and last pitched in an MLB game on August 27. The Rockies optioned Anderson to Triple-A on August 29 and he elected free agency the next day; he has sufficient service time to block an option to the minors without his consent. It is unclear whether the Mariners contract is a major- or minor-league deal. Anderson made 12 appearances for the Rockies this season with a 6.14 ERA, though he posted a 3.29 ERA across 11 August outings. Anderson was dominant for the Rays from 2019-2021 but elbow injuries limited him in 2021 and cost him 2022; he returned in 2023 with the Braves as a late-inning option.
