SEATTLE (AP) – The slumping Seattle Mariners have acquired Mark Trumbo from the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of a six-player trade in the hopes of boosting their struggling offense. Trumbo is hitting .259 with nine home runs and 23 RBIs for the Diamondbacks, playing 40 of his 46 games in right field. He gives the Mariners a right-handed power bat to complement Nelson Cruz and help balance their lefty-heavy lineup.
