Mariners sign RHPs Brendan White to Triple-A Tacoma, Nick Garcia to Double-A
Brendan White signed a minor-league deal and was placed on Triple-A Tacoma's roster; righty Nick Garcia agreed to terms and was assigned to Double-A in the Feb. 24-25 transaction window.
Brendan White and Nick Garcia were the Mariners' two late additions during the Feb. 24-25 transaction window, with White signed to a minor-league deal and listed as assigned to Triple-A Tacoma while Garcia agreed to terms and was assigned to Double-A. The pair of right-handed pitchers were confirmed in the fleet of roster moves finalized on Feb. 25, 2026.
White's paperwork indicates a direct placement with Triple-A Tacoma, signaling Seattle has slotted the right-hander into the Rainiers' organization-level depth chart. The listing to Triple-A Tacoma places White on the doorstep of the major-league club in organizational terms and gives Tacoma a newly acquired right-handed arm ahead of the minor-league season.
Nick Garcia's agreement to terms came during the same Feb. 24-25 window and carries a Double-A assignment. The Mariners listed Garcia to a Double-A affiliate on Feb. 25, 2026, positioning him two rungs below the Triple-A level and into the middle tier of Seattle's minor-league pitching pipeline.
Both transactions were processed late in the Feb. 24-25 window and reflect discrete, targeted additions of right-handed pitching across two different levels of the system. White's minor-league deal and Triple-A designation contrasts with Garcia's Double-A placement, creating immediate roster impacts for Tacoma and for the Double-A club where Garcia will report.
The moves were finalized before the clubs set Opening Day rosters for minor-league play, and Seattle's front office recorded White's assignment to Triple-A Tacoma and Garcia's assignment to Double-A on Feb. 25, 2026. Those listings establish where each player will start the 2026 minor-league season inside the Mariners organization.
Taken together, the signings add two right-handed options to Seattle's ranked affiliates: one at Triple-A Tacoma via a minor-league deal for Brendan White, and one at Double-A for Nick Garcia through an agreement to terms. The Mariners completed both transactions during the Feb. 24-25 window, and the club's minor-league rosters now reflect those assignments as of Feb. 25, 2026.
