The Marlins are acquiring right-hander Darren McCaughan from the Mariners for cash considerations, reports Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald (X link). Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports (on X) that outfielder Peyton Burdick is being designated for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster.
McCaughan, who turns 28 next month, has pitched 14 MLB innings over parts of two seasons with Seattle. The Long Beach State product has allowed 13 runs in that very limited sample.
More to come.
