MARINACCIO MOVED TO THE PADRES
The San Diego Padres acquired pitcher Ron Marinaccio from the Chicago White Sox for cash.
What does it give the San Diego Padres
In Marinaccio, the Padres add a depth reliever with MLB experience. The 29-year-old actually boasts a solid 3.22 ERA in 101 career innings, but he has struggled to stay in the big leagues; he issues too many walks. San Diego has a fairly deep bullpen, so Marinaccio may start 2025 in Triple-A.
What does it give the Chicago White Sox
Marinaccio could have likely been part of Chicago's bullpen in 2025, but the rebuilding White Sox are prioritizing some younger options on their roster. That led them to designate Marinaccio for assignment recently, and they added some cash from San Diego instead.
Fantasy impact
If Marinaccio pitches for the Padres this season, it is unlikely to be in high-leverage situations. That will keep him off the fantasy radar for now.
