Mike Rodriguez first reported the Jim\u00e9nez deal.<\/p>\n<p>Jim\u00e9nez, 31, has pitched in parts of four big league seasons. The past three have come with the A\u2019s, with whom he made at least 25 appearances in each year. Jim\u00e9nez managed decent results between 2022-23 despite scattershot command. He combined for a 3.43 ERA over 57 2\/3 frames during that two-year stretch. He punched out a league average 23% of opponents but walked more than 13% of batters faced.<\/p>\n<p>The walks caught up to him last season. Jim\u00e9nez struggled to a 4.91 ERA in 25 2\/3 innings. His strikeout rate ticked down (21.4%) while the walks climbed to a massive 16.2% rate. His fastball speed has trended in the wrong direction. Jim\u00e9nez averaged around 94 MPH on the heater in 2022. That dropped slightly to 93.3 MPH the next year and sat at a career-low 92.5 MPH last season. He leans more heavily on his low-80s slider, a pitch that generated big swinging strike numbers in 2022 but hasn\u2019t been as effective over the last two years.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the season, the A\u2019s opted not to tender Jim\u00e9nez an arbitration contract projected at $1MM. He\u2019ll need to earn his way back onto the 40-man roster with a strong showing in camp and\/or at Triple-A Gwinnett. Jim\u00e9nez still has a couple option seasons, so if he does crack the 40-man, the Braves can move him between Atlanta and Gwinnett without putting him on waivers.<\/p>\n<p>Seagle, 29, is an organizational depth catcher. He spent seven seasons in the Padres\u2019 system. Seagle is a career .201\/.272\/.286 hitter in the minors. The Padres called him up for the final game of the 2023 season and got him an at-bat. While they outrighted him off their 40-man roster early in the offseason, they re-signed him to a minor league contract last year. He appeared in 38 games with their Triple-A team, hitting .180\/.219\/.280 in 107 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (1)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former A&#8217;s reliever Dany Jim\u00e9nez has signed a minor league deal with Atlanta.
