• Nationals' Nomar Mazara: Inks minors deal with Nats

  04/14/2023 • By RotoWire

  Mazara signed a minor-league contract Friday with the Nationals. Mazara was in camp with the Orioles this spring before getting cut loose March 27. He has picked a good landing spot in Washington and has a solid chance of getting back to a semi-regular role at the MLB level. The 27-year-old outfielder will report to Triple-A Rochester for now.

• Nomar Mazara: Released by Baltimore

  03/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  Mazara was released by the Orioles on Monday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports. Mazara wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster and exercised his opt-out. The 27-year-old hasn't hit much this spring or at the major-league level for a few years now, so he'll probably have to settle for a minor-league contract wherever he winds up.

  Mazara signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. Mazara is still just 27 years old and should theoretically be at his peak, but it's been several seasons since he's held down a regular role. He appeared in 55 games for the Padres last season, hitting a modest .264/.316/.352 with two home runs. Mazara's career 89 wRC+ simply isn't good enough for him to be a starting corner outfielder, but it's just passable enough that he could continue to bounce around in a bench role. The Orioles would represent his fifth team in five seasons if he manages to make an appearance.

  The Padres released Mazara on Tuesday. Mazara cleared waivers after the Padres designated him for assignment over the weekend, but rather than sticking around in the organization at Triple-A El Paso, he'll seek out opportunities elsewhere. Prior to losing his spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, Mazara saw action in 55 games for the Friars and slashed .264/.316/.352 with two home runs and 18 RBI across 171 plate appearances.

• Padres' Nomar Mazara: Loses 40-man spot

  08/20/2022 • By RotoWire

  Mazara was designated for assignment by the Padres on Saturday. After losing his spot as a regular starter in the outfield and going hitless in just six plate appearances since Aug. 3, Mazara has now lost his spot on the 40-man and 26-man rosters. Mazara has a batting average of .264 on the season and his highest OPS since 2019 (.668), so it is possible that he gets claimed off waivers by another team.
