Mariners Acquire JT Chargois from Marlins

The Seattle Mariners have acquired right-handed relief pitcher JT Chargois from the Miami Marlins in exchange for pitching prospect Will Schomberg. Chargois, 33, has made 15 appearances this season with a career-best 1.62 ERA after returning from the injured list due to neck spasms. This trade marks Chargois' second stint with the Mariners, having previously made 31 relief appearances for the team in 2021. The Mariners, currently in playoff contention with a 56-52 record, hope Chargois will enhance their bullpen, which has a collective 3.76 ERA this season. Schomberg, the prospect heading to Miami, has shown promise with a 2.83 ERA and 116 strikeouts over 19 starts in the minors this year. Chargois remains under team control through 2025, adding to the Mariners' bullpen depth.
