The stove is officially...well, maybe not scorching hot in Seattle, but at least a little warm, as the Mariners made their first major-ish move of the off-season, trading RHP Isaiah Campbell for INF Luis Urías from the Red Sox.
As an avowed Contact Hitter Lover, I’ve been a fan of Urías since he was a prospect in San Diego’s system, where Baseball America awarded him “Best Strike Zone Discipline” and “Best Hitter for Average” in back-to-back years. But the Padres decided they wanted to go bigger in their infield, and swapped Urías and Eric Lauer to Milwaukee for Zach Davies and Trent Grisham.
