Ron Marinaccio Sold to Padres in 2025, Had Successful Stint

On January 24, 2025, the Chicago White Sox sold reliever Ron Marinaccio to the San Diego Padres. Marinaccio, who was a waiver claim from the New York Yankees in September, never pitched an inning for the White Sox. Following the trade, he had a short but successful stint with the Padres in 2025. Over his first four MLB seasons, the right-hander accumulated a 2.1 WAR across 125 1/3 innings. This historical note reflects a minor transaction that led to Marinaccio finding a new home and contributing to the Padres' bullpen.
