Martin announced his retirement from baseball Thursday, according to his personal Twitter account.

EDGE Analysis

Martin has accepted a job to become a Northwest Area scout for the Atlanta Braves. The 29-year-old righty will call it quits after accumulating a 6.33 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 42:23 K:BB across parts of three major-league seasons (58.1 innings) with the Braves, Athletics and Mariners.

Martin signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Monday, Jacob Resnick of MetsMinors.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin had been pitching in an independent league for the Kansas City T-Bones prior to agreeing to a minor-league deal. His last major-league appearance occurred in 2017 with the Mariners, when he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in two innings. Martin figures to serve as organizational depth for the Mets.

Martin was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners brought Martin aboard as the 26th man for their doubleheader Sunday against the Royals, but he was quickly sent back to the minors after he was lit up for four runs (three earned) over two innings of long relief in one game of the twin bill. He'll now lose out on his 40-man roster spot for the second time in 2017 with the Mariners determining the spot was better used on a higher-upside option.

Martin will head back to Triple-A Tacoma, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was called up to serve as the 26th man for the second game of the Mariners' doubleheader in Kansas City on Sunday. He actually saw game action, too, but didn't perform well, as the three earned runs on five hits and two walks in two innings will attest. Martin will head back south down I-5 to Tacoma, where he's recorded a 3.78 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 33.1 innings with the Rainiers this year.

Martin was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Sunday's doubleheader against the Royals, Bob Dutton of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Martin will serve as the Mariners' 26th man for the twin bill, meaning he'll likely be ticketed for a return to Tacoma after the pair of contests. The right-hander has yet to make his 2017 debut with the Mariners, but appeared in nine games (two starts) with the big club in 2016, turning in a 3.86 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 25.2 innings.

Martin will be called up to serve as the 26th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Royals, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

As the designated 26th man, Martin will only be eligible to pitch in Game 2 of the twin bill, and he will have to head back down afterward. Martin has made 14 appearances (four starts) with Triple-A Tacoma this season, posting a 3.78 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB over 33.1 innings.

Martin was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners purchased Martin's contract from Tacoma on Friday, but didn't end up using him in either of the first two games of their series with the Mets before sending him back to the minors to make room on the active roster for Erasmo Ramirez, who was acquired from the Rays over the weekend. The 27-year-old Martin has contributed a 3.81 ERA and 37 strikeouts over 28.1 innings for Tacoma this season.

Martin's contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Martin was designated for assignment over the past offseason, but he'll return to the big leagues after putting up a passable 3.81 ERA and a solid 37:8 K:BB in 28.1 innings pitched. He'll head back to the majors to provide bullpen depth, although it's unlikely that he'll see high-leverage situations given the plethora of arms ahead of him in the bullpen pecking order.

Martin was outrighted off the 40-man roster on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, and is now officially off the 40-man roster. He should serve as organizational bullpen depth in 2017.

Martin was designated for assignment Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Mariners acquiring outfielder Mallex Smith and reliever Shae Simmons via trade Wednesday, Martin's spot on the 40-man roster became expendable. Martin shuttled between Triple-A Tacoma and the big club last season, working mostly as a spot starter or mop-up man out of the bullpen during his time with the Mariners. The right-hander struggled to keep the ball in the yard, and though he finished with a respectable 3.86 ERA over 25.2 innings, Martin's underwhelming repertoire made him a rather low-upside roster option. He shouldn't find trouble landing a spring training invite from another club if he's unable to claim a 40-man spot elsewhere.
