The Mariners announced Monday that Vincej will serve as a coach on Triple-A Tacoma's staff in 2022.

EDGE Analysis

Vincej's transition into coaching signals the end of his playing career. The 30-year-old infielder inked a minor-league deal with the Mariners last summer, but he never appeared in any games in 2021 before electing free agency earlier in the offseason. After entering the professional ranks in 2012 as a 37th-round draft pick of the Reds, Vincej went on to spent parts of two seasons (2017 and 2018) in the majors with Cincinnati and Seattle, logging three hits over 16 career plate appearances.

VIncej signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on June 3 and was assigned to the organization's rookie-level Arizona League affiliate.

EDGE Analysis

After electing free agency following the 2019 season, Vincej appeared to be transitioning into a post-playing career, as he had accepted a coaching position at Pepperdine, his alma mater. The 30-year-old infielder has apparently since reconsidered his stance, and he'll attempt to reboot his career with Seattle, the organization in which he spent the 2018 campaign. Vincej enjoyed cups of coffee in the big leagues with both Cincinnati and Seattle in 2017 and 2018, respectively, appearing in 10 games between the two clubs.

Vincej signed a minor-league deal with the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old infielder played in 109 games for Triple-A Tacoma in the Mariners' system this past season, slashing .247/.315/.345 with six home runs, 51 RBI and seven stolen bases. He's only managed to accumulate 16 major-league plate appearances over his career and should be seen as organizational depth looking ahead to the 2019 campaign.

Vincej was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Vincej will remain with Tacoma after being designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday. Across 99 games for the Rainiers this year, he's hit .246/.314/.346 with six home runs and 47 RBI.

Vincej was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vincej had his contract purchased in late July but only remained in the majors a couple days while Kyle Seager was on the paternity list. Ross Detwiler was added to the 40-man roster in a corresponding move.

Vincej was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was a mere formality, as Vincej had been up strictly to fill in for Kyle Seager while the latter was on the paternity list. With the veteran third baseman returning Thursday, Vincej heads back to Tacoma, where he's slashed .236/.301/.341 over 84 games.

Vincej will be optioned to Triple-A Tacoma prior to Thursday's matchup against Toronto, TJ Cotterill of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kyle Seager (paternity) slated to return from the disabled list Thursday, Vincej is expected to head to the minor leagues. He failed to make his 2018 major-league debut after his contract was purchased Monday.

Vincej had his contract selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Vincej will provide a little extra depth all around the diamond as a utility man, especially with Kyle Seager being placed on the paternity list. During 84 games with Tacoma this year, Vincej has slashed .236/.301/.341 with six home runs, 44 RBI and six stolen bases.

The Mariners reassigned Vincej to their minor-league camp Sunday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vincej was a long shot to crack the Opening Day roster with Andrew Romine and Taylor Motter viewed within the organization as superior utility options. After spending most of the 2017 campaign with Triple-A Louisville in the Reds organization, Vincej is expected to get his first taste of the Pacific Coast League this season while playing primarily with Triple-A Tacoma.

Vincej (quadriceps) appears to have returned to health and went 0-for-2 Sunday against the Red.

EDGE Analysis

Vincej missed some time due to quad tightness, but he seems good to go and has seen the field in every game since March 6. He's 2-for-13 with four strikeouts through nine spring training games. After coming into camp with a slim chance to make the team, Vincej will have to dramatically improve his performance to have any shot at the Opening Day roster.
