The Mariners have agreed to a minor league pact with veteran catcher Pedro Severino, tweets Tacoma Rainiers director of communications Paul Braverman. Severino, a client of Republik Sports, opted out of a minor league deal with the Padres last week.
The San Diego Padres just lost one of their most experienced catcher options in Pedro Severino as he has opted to head to free agency once again after strictly suiting up in the minor leagues this season.
Severino, 29, has appeared in parts of eight major league seasons. He was a backup with the Nationals for a few years before getting starting run for the Orioles between 2019-21.
Pedro Severino put the Milwaukee Brewers a bind last season. After being signed as a free agent in November of 2021, the catcher was suspended 80 games. He's now signed a deal with San Diego Padres.
The deal will pay him $1.95M if he’s in the majors and contains an additional $550K in performance bonuses.
The deadline to offer arbitration-eligible players contracts is Friday, Nov. 18.

The Brewers are planning on adding catcher Jakson Reetz to their 40-man roster, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. A corresponding move will have to be made to make room for the top catching prospect.
Lamet getting cut from the roster comes as a surprise since he was just acquired from the Padres a couple of days ago as part of the Josh Hader trade.
At 57-44 and four games in front of the St. Louis Cardinals for first in the NL Central, the Milwaukee Brewers wouldn’t generally be a team you’d expect to be selling at the deadline.

The Brewers have another player returning soon and for once it’s not one of the many players who have spent time on the injured list coming back. Catcher Pedro Severino, who was signed by the Crew last offseason before getting hit with an 80-game suspension right before Opening Day, is finally eligible to return tomorrow.
Pedro Severino was assumed to be the backup catcher to Omar Narvaez following the departure of Manny Pina in free agency during the offseason. This plan was tossed out on April 5th, just before the season started, after the results of a PED test administered before the MLB lockout began on Decembe...
