The deal was finalized on January 16, but wasn&#8217;t posted until this week &#8211; a common practice for offseason, minor league transactions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6b\">Mosser was originally drafted in the 27th round by the Padres in 2018 and spent six years scuffling in the San Diego system before signing with his hometown Phillies in 2025. In 147 minor league games (101 as a starter), he&#8217;s compiled a career mark of 30-37 with a 4.62 ERA and 536 strikeouts in 565.1 innings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6e\">CLICK FOR MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/mariners\/onsi\/news\/jon-morosi-talks-mariners-julio-rodriguez-al-mvp-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mariners analyst Jon Morosi talks about Julio Rodriguez&#8217;s outlook for 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6h\">Mosser made 25 starts in 2025, split between Double-A and Triple-A. Mosser posted a 6-9 record with a 5.20 ERA and 127 Ks in 124 2\/3 innings. He will be looking to fill a long-reliever and spot-starter role in Spring Training, but he&#8217;ll have plenty of competition.<\/p>\n<p>Building a better bullpen<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01kft8b2cchg64sdx511.jpg\" alt=\"Relief Pitching | Seattle Mariners \" title=\"Relief Pitching | Seattle Mariners \" width=\"4838\" height=\"2721\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6t\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Oct 15, 2025; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners manager Dan Wilson (6) makes a pitching change during the fifth inning as Seattle Mariners pitcher George Kirby (68) leaves the game against the Toronto Blue Jays during game three of the ALCS round for the 2025 MLB playoffs at T-Mobile Park.

It could be a full-time spot, or it could be a shuttle back-and-forth to Tacoma, and only being called up when needed.
