SEATTLE, Wash. — The Seattle Mariners made a big splash before trade deadline acquiring all-star outfielder Randy Arozarena from Tampa Bay Rays.
In exchange, the Mariners traded minor leaguers Brady Hopkins, Aiden Smith and a player to be named later.
Arozarena is batting .211 with 15 home runs this season.
He led the Rays to the World Series in 2020 and won AL Rookie of the Year in 2021.
Arozarena also earned an all-star nod last season.
Seattle currently has the worst batting average in baseball and squandered a 10-game lead in the AL West.
