We heard earlier this week that Luis Curvelo was generating lots of interest early on this offseason, and he's been scooped up by the Texas Rangers.
Morosi indicated earlier this week that the Mariners didn't have room for Curvelo on the 40-man roster, so that's why they weren't able to keep him. He's 24 years old right now and is coming off a year in which spent the entire season at Double-A Arkansas.
The Travelers won the Southern League Championship as Curvelo went 4-0 in 49 games. He pitched to a 2.57 ERA, striking out 78 batters in 66.2 innings. It will be interesting to see how big a loss this ends up being for the Mariners. Seattle has had success in recent years in developing relievers , but they won't get a chance to extract the same value out of Curvelo.
Instead, they'll have to watch as Curvelo attempts to blossom with their division rivals. The Rangers have plenty of needs in the bullpen after seeing David Robertson opt-out of his contract. Kirby Yates and Jose Leclerc are also free agents as well.and the Houston Astros. Texas won the World Series in the 2023 season.
