Logan Gilbert News
Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert has been getting roughed up so far in Cactus League action. The 26-year-old began his spring with a pair of shutout innings against the Royals on Feb. 28 but has since yielded an eye-popping 10 earned runs on nine hits, including two homers, with three walks against seven strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings and two starts since. The back-to-back blowups have jumped Gilbert's spring ERA to 14.21 along with a 2.05 WHIP across 6 1/3 innings of work. The tough spring results to date don't require the panic button due to Gilbert's track record but the situation is worth monitoring at this time of the year. He posted a 3.73 ERA and ranked fifth with a 4.7% BB% among qualified pitchers a season ago.
The Seattle Mariners and right-hander Logan Gilbert have settled on a one-year, $4.05 million contract, avoiding arbitration in the process. Thursday marks the deadline for clubs to either settle with their arbitration-eligible players or for the two sides to enter dollar figures before going to arbitration. Gilbert is coming off another solid season for the Mariners, working to a 3.73 ERA across 32 starts and a career-high 190 2/3 innings of work. The 26-year-old thrives with his control as his 4.7% BB% was the fifth-best mark in baseball among 44 qualified pitchers. As a result, he posted a hearty 19.9% K-BB% despite a solid, yet unspectacular 24.6% K%. He remains a rock-solid fantasy asset ahead of the 2024 season.
It's no secret that the Boston Red Sox are looking for starting pitching help this offseason, whether through free agency or a trade, although they're far more interested in acquiring a pitcher with multiple years of control. They approached the Seattle Mariners about young right-handers Logan Gilbert and George Kirby but were rebuffed. It's going to take a lot to get the M's to move two young starters that they are trying to build around, and it's not like Boston has a very strong farm system to pull from to begin with. It's more likely that the Red Sox will go strong after a free-agent starter like Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery or Lucas Giolito. They're also in the mix with Japanese star starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but Boston is considered more of a long shot to land him to headline their starting rotation.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert does two things great: he doesn't walk batters and he gets great extension with his 6'6" frame. Gilbert was in the top five percent in walk percentage in 2023. His 4.7% was almost half of the MLB average of 8.4%. The extension Gilbert gets on his pitches was in the top one percent in MLB, coming in at 7.5 feet above the mound. This extension makes his 95 mph fastball look almost two mph faster and his offspeed pitches don't break at the same time an average extension would. The Stetson University product had an xERA of 3.69 in 2023, the lowest of his career. The one mark against Gilbert, however, is he gets hit too hard. His 90.5 exit velocity was in the bottom 12% of the league, while his hard-hit % was bottom 11%. The 1.08 WHIP from Gilbert is what kept his ERA and xERA down last season. If he's able to keep his underlying stats in check and rein in his home run total (29), he could look to make another jump in 2024. Firmly entrenched in the top 25, Gilbert could make a run for the top 15 of starting pitchers for fantasy this season.
