  • San Diego Padres (2012-15)
  • Seattle Mariners (2016-18)
  • San Francisco Giants (2019, 2020 – Present)
  • Philadelphia Phillies (2019)

Right-hander Nick Vincent was among the arms GM Matt Klentak acquired to try to keep the pitching staff afloat when it was in dire need.

Vincent signed as a free agent with the Phillies in early August, and he would excel with a 1.93 ERA and 1.071 WHIP through 14 appearances, allowing only three earned runs in 14 innings.

On Friday, the San Francisco Giants signed Vincent to a minor-league deal with a spring invite. He began last season as a Giant, however his struggles resulted in him being released.

MLBTradeRumors’ Jeff Todd writes:

"Now an eight-year MLB veteran, the 33-year-old has compiled quite an impressive track record. Through 376 2/3 career innings, the soft-tossing Vincent carries a 3.32 ERA. While teams haven’t been willing to stake much on a continuation of that performance level, he’s certainly a nice player to have on hand for this level of commitment."

Now, Vincent not only reunites with the Giants, but also his manager with the Phillies in Gabe Kapler.
