Margevicius’s MLB Career

Following the Padres, Margevicius spent two seasons on the Seattle Mariners.
The 29-year-old last pitched in the MLB during the 2021 season.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area had written (on December 25, 2025): “Hearing the Giants are bringing former Padres/Mariners starter Nick Margevicius to camp as a non-roster invitee. He had a 3.89 ERA in Triple-A with Tigers last year … continues their trend of adding new lefties to the mix this offseason.”
