Mike

Flynn

Flynn will make a salary of $900,000 if he make the MLB roster according to Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors. The 28-year-old right-hander was acquired from the Dodgers in the trade for Amed Rosario, and he’ll compete for a spot in the back of the Tampa Bay bullpen in Florida this spring.

Flynn is a 27-year-old reliever with no major league experience, so this doesn’t seem like much of a return. Still, the Rays might get something out of him. Although he has a 4.25 ERA in the minors this year, his 59/16 K/BB ratio in 42 1/3 innings is impressive.

Flynn spent the last two seasons in the Mariners’ minor league system and will head to the Dodgers as extra upper minors relief depth. The 27-year-old righty has yet to reach the big leagues after being selected in the sixth round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the Pirates.

Flynn joined the Mariners organization in 2022, posting an uninspiring 7.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 33/13 K/BB ratio over 36 innings at High-A Everett. He’s nothing more than minor league bullpen depth at this point.
