The Seattle Mariners acquired Miles Mastrobuoni (29) in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, according to multiple sources.
Mariners catcher Nick Raposo was designated for assignment to make room for Mastrobuoni on the 40-man roster.
Mastrobuoni slashed .194/.245/.224/.470 in 50 games for the Cubs last season. Despite not being anything to write home about as a hitter, the Mariners no doubt made the move for Mastrobuoni's glove.
Last season, the three-year vet played 17 games at third base, 10 at both shortstop and second base, two in right field, and one in left field.
Mastrobuoni is a former 14th-round pick of the 2016 MLB Draft. He made his debut in 2022 with the Tampa Bay Rays before finding a spot on the Cubs roster in 2023, in which he played 60 games hitting .241.
Mastrobuoni also played for Team Italy in the latest World Baseball Classic.
