Following the Athletics, Snead spent his most recent MLB season with the Seattle Mariners.
Over 79 career games, he has gone 2-4 with a 5.09 ERA.
The Mariners wrote (via X) on May 10, 2024: “Today, we honored Mr. 1,000th Mariner Kirby Snead, with a special pregame ceremony, including some familiar faces: @BuckyJacobsen , @charliefurbush , Danny Farquhar and @KNegs17.”
Snead will be worth keeping an eye on, as he could earn himself a shot with the Phillies if he does well with the IronPigs (in Triple-A).
