Marlins Claim Brett de Geus, Designate Seth Martinez for Assignment

The Miami Marlins have announced their acquisition of right-hander Brett de Geus off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates had designated de Geus for assignment last week, which opened up the opportunity for the Marlins to make their move. In a corresponding roster adjustment, the Marlins have designated fellow right-hander Seth Martinez for assignment. This series of transactions highlights the Marlins' ongoing efforts to refine their pitching staff and explore potential talent to bolster their bullpen.

Brett de Geus, 27, has yet to pitch for the Pirates, having been acquired from the Blue Jays in a cash deal just last month. However, his tenure with Pittsburgh was short-lived, as the signing of Andrew Heaney last week made de Geus the roster casualty. As the Marlins integrate de Geus into their lineup, they aim to harness his potential and make strategic use of his pitching abilities. Meanwhile, the decision to designate Seth Martinez for assignment underscores the team's commitment to making necessary adjustments in pursuit of a competitive edge.
