The Mariners announced a series of roster moves today, selecting the contract of left-hander Kirby Snead and reinstated right-hander Eduard Bazardo from the injured list.
On Monday, Kevin Smith signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees, and yesterday it came out that Kirby Snead had signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners.
Kirby Snead was slowed by a shoulder injury to start the season and never really found his footing. A shoulder injury delayed the start of Kirby Snead’s season, but he later joined a long list of relievers that cycled in and out of the Oakland Athletics bullpen in 2023 without making much of a mark.
According to the transactions page on MLB, Kirby Snead was outrighted from the 40-man roster and sent to Triple-A Las Vegas. There is potential that Snead elects minor league free agency following the move.
The A’s have outrighted Kirby Snead off their 40-man roster, as per the left-hander’s MLB.com profile page. Snead can’t reject the assignment to Triple-A since he doesn’t have enough Major League service time and because this is his first outright, but he is probably likely to become a minor league free agent.
