BREAKING: Four-Star Left-Hander Commits To Mariners After Being Released From Rivals Team
The San Francisco Giants added left-hander Nick Margevicius to their roster on a minor league deal on Friday, which includes an invitation to Major League Spring Training. Margevicius, 29, will earn $825,000 if he reaches the big league roster, giving him a low-risk opportunity to compete for a role in San Francisco’s 2026 pitching plans.
A 6-foot-5 southpaw from Cleveland, Ohio, Margevicius has not pitched in Major League Baseball since 2021. Drafted by the San Diego Padres in the seventh round (198th overall) of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Rider University, he debuted with San Diego in 2019 and later pitched for the Seattle Mariners. Over 32 MLB games with the Padres and Seattle from 2019 to 2021, Margevicius posted a 4.57 ERA and showed flashes of potential as a starter.
However, thoracic outlet syndrome disrupted his career, limiting him to five appearances in 2021 and a 0–2 record with an 8.25 ERA over 12 innings. The injury required surgery and an extended rehab period, putting the brakes on the momentum he had built early in his career.
