MLB Seattle recruits Tampa Bay’s leading hitter Arosarena
A trade that gives away three prospects… Kang Soo aims to advance into PS
The Seattle Mariners of the Major League Baseball (MLB) acquired slugger Landi Arosarena (29) through a trade.
On the 26th (Korean time), the Seattle team announced that it had conducted a 3-for-1 trade to acquire outfielder Arosarena by giving up three prospects, including outfielder Aiden Smith, right-handed pitcher Brody Hopkins, and a future rookie to be named, to the Tampa Bay Rays.
Arosarena is a representative big league player who achieved 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases for three consecutive years from the 2021 season to last season.
He received the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year Award in 2021, and was selected as an All-Star last year.
This season, we are performing somewhat poorly.
In 100 games, he has a batting average of 0.211, 15 home runs, 37 RBI, and 16 stolen bases.
As of the 26th, Seattle is in second place in the AL West with 53 wins and 51 losses.
They are one game behind the Houston Astros, first place in the district.
Seattle plans to use Arosarena as a driving force to advance to the postseason.
