Mariners trade for Rays star Randy Arozarena in bombshell move

07/26/2024 12:46 AM

One of the first major dominoes of the 2024 MLB trade deadline has fallen. On Thursday night, the Seattle Mariners acquired power-hitting outfielder Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. (Francys Romero was the first to report this major development.) The Mariners sense that the race for the AL West crown is wide open, and going for Arozarena increases their lineup’s power potential in a major way.

Arozarena hasn’t quite reached the heights of his previous seasons, but he’s been performing better as of late. On the season, he has hit 15 home runs and driven in 36 runs, with a slash line of .213/.319/.398. News of what the Rays received from the Mariners in return hasn’t broken yet, so tune in for further developments in this story.
