Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Seattle Mariners are acquiring 2B Jorge Polanco in a trade with the Minnesota Twins. The return to Minnesota, per his coworker Kiley Mcdaniel, is two major leaguers and two minor leaguers; Seattle is sending RHP Justin Topa and RHP Anthony DeSclafani, alongside minor leaguers OF Gabriel Gonzalez and RHP Darren Bowen.
Topa leaves a hole in the bullpen, having arrived with little expectation and blossoming into a key part of the 2023 bullpen. DeSclafani is a pure salary dump, having arrived as part of the salary offset for sending Robbie Ray to the San Francisco Giants earlier this winter.
