Mariners Acquire Yosver Zulueta From Reds Following DFA

The move fits Seattle's pattern of low-cost bullpen bets on power arms with polish to add.

Overview

  • Cincinnati designated Zulueta for assignment to open a 40-man spot as the Pierce Johnson one-year signing became official.
  • Reports confirmed that Seattle moved quickly to acquire Zulueta from the Reds shortly after the designation.
  • Lookout Landing reported the Reds’ return as 2025 11th-round pick Dusty Revis.
  • With a full 40-man roster, the Mariners made room for Zulueta by parting with Samad Taylor, according to Lookout Landing.
  • Zulueta brings upper-90s velocity, strong strikeout and ground-ball rates, persistent walk issues, and he may still carry a minor-league option that could extend to a fourth year.
