The Rangers released Chargois on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran reliever had been torched for 14 runs (10 earned) over 4.2 innings with Triple-A Round Rock. Chargois holds a 2.73 ERA over parts of the previous four seasons at the major-league level, so he should be able to find an opportunity with another organization quickly.

The Rangers signed Chargois to a minor-league deal Tuesday, Aram Leighton of JustBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chargois pitched for Miami and Seattle in 2024, posting a 3-1 record, 2.23 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 36 regular-season relief appearances. However, despite the impressive numbers, he was designated for assignment by the Mariners in November and will now look to eventually earn a spot in the Rangers' bullpen.

The Mariners non-tendered Chargois on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chargois was traded by the Marlins to the Mariners in late July. Despite posting a 2.23 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 36.1 innings between the two teams in 2024, Chargois was designated for assignment by Seattle on Tuesday to make room on the 40-man roster for Austin Shenton. Now in free agency, Chargois should be able to catch on with a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

The Mariners designated Chargois for assignment Tuesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Austin Shenton joining the organization Tuesday via a trade with the Rays, Chargois will end up as the odd man out of the Mariners' 40-man roster. The 33-year-old was extremely effective out of the bullpen in 2024, posting a 2.23 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 36.1 total innings between Miami and Seattle, so there could be a handful of teams bidding for his services via waivers.

Chargois was charged with his second blown save of the season in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Chargois' outing had a little bit of everything, with the veteran right-hander allowing a game-tying, one-out solo shot to the second batter he faced in the seventh inning, Leody Taveras. Chargois would get out of the frame without any further damage, but he set the early stage for a critical loss for the Mariners. The 33-year-old came into the outing on a nine-appearance run of strong performances, as he'd allowed just one earned run on two hits and three walks over his previous 7.2 innings.

Chargois (3-1) got the win against the Rangers on Friday, striking out the side in a perfect eighth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Chargois retired Jonah Heim, Leody Taveras and Carson Kelly on 14 pitches with the Mariners down two runs in the eighth, and he then reaped the rewards for his dominance when Julio Rodriguez slugged a go-ahead three-run home run in the home half of the frame. Chargois now has three consecutive scoreless relief appearances of at least an inning each, and Friday's outing lowered his ERA back under 3.00 (2.87) for the first time since Aug. 24.

Chargois (2-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits over one inning. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Chargois was tasked with preserving a thin 1-0 lead when he entered in the seventh, but he subsequently allowed a two-run home run to Jose Siri after retiring the first two batters he faced during the frame. The right-hander has now surrendered a pair of earned runs in two of his last four appearances, rare hiccups in what has otherwise been a strong season for the veteran reliever. Even when factoring in recent struggles, Chargois is sitting on a combined 2.39 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 24 appearances with the Marlins and Mariners in 2024.

Chargois (2-0) got the win over the Tigers on Thursday, firing a perfect ninth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The recent trade acquisition extended a stellar start to his Mariners tenure with his fourth straight perfect appearance since arriving from the Marlins. Chargois has enjoyed an excellent season overall, as he's carrying a 1.29 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 19 appearances. While he has little track record as a late-inning arm, his performance thus far with the Mariners suggests he could earn some high-leverage work.

The Mariners acquired Chargois from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Will Schomberg, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chargois missed the first two-plus months of the season due to a neck issue, but he's pitched well in middle relief since being activated in mid-June with a 1.62 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The right-hander will bolster Seattle's bullpen depth and is also under team control for 2025.

Chargois (1-0) picked up the win Sunday over the White Sox, giving up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was called in with the Marlins down 4-3 in the top of the ninth, and Chargois got rewarded for his efforts when Jake Burger walked it off with a three-run homer in the bottom of the frame. Chargois has been very effective since making his season debut in mid-June, posting a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB through 10.2 innings, and he could be working his way into the high-leverage mix for the Marlins.
