Marlins Designate Veteran Reliever for Assignment
The Miami Marlins have made a roster move, as they have designated relief pitcher John King for assignment.
The Miami Marlins have decided to move on from one of their veteran pitchers. Veteran relief pitcher John King has been designated for assignment by the team. The Marlins also announced they have recalled pitcher Jack Ralston from their Triple-A Jacksonville affiliate.
John King had a record of 6-2 with a 3.99 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 50 games for the Marlins this season. Prior to that, he had a 2-1 record, a 4.66 ERA, and 28 strikeouts with the St. Louis Cardinals. Teams searching for additional pitching depth may want to look into claiming King via waiver. With considerable MLB experience, he could be a valuable asset for another team's bullpen.
Throughout his seven-year career spanning from 2015 to 2021, King has played for the Texas Rangers, Cardinals, and Marlins. In 264 MLB games, he has a record of 22-16, a 3.83 ERA, and 198 strikeouts. His solid track record suggests he could be a beneficial addition to another team's roster.
