Looking At Marinaccio
Marinaccio was picked in the 19th round of the 2017 MLB Draft by the Yankees.
He spent the first three years of his career with the franchise.
In 2023, Marinaccio went 4-5 with a 3.99 ERA in 45 games.
Following his stint in New York, Marinaccio spent time with the San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates (and Reds).
The 31-year-old has gone 7-5 with a 3.98 ERA in 149 games.
It will be interesting to see if he gets picked up before the end of the 2026 season.
