With the Mariners' offense struggling, general manager Jack Zduriencik has made a move.
On Wednesday afternoon he finalized a trade with the Diamondbacks that will bring slugger Mark Trumbo and left-hander Vidal Nuno to Seattle in exchange for catcher Welington Castillo, reliever Dominic Leone and minor leaguers Gabby Guerrero and Jack Reinheimer.
"We've always liked Mark Trumbo," Zduriencik said shortly after the announcement. "We know his capabilities. He's a big power guy and we thought at this moment, our offense is sputtering, making our lineup deeper with someone who has track record of 30 home runs, someone who is familiar with the division, he's 29 years of age, he can play left field, right field, first base, DH, we thought it was the right thing to do, to add and not wait.
