MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins have traded right-handed reliever David Phelps to the Seattle Mariners for four prospects, including highly regarded outfielder Brayan Hernandez, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.
The person confirmed the deal to the AP on condition of anonymity Thursday because the teams have not announced the trade.
Phelps is 2-4 with a 3.45 ERA in 44 games and 47 innings this season. He’s a six-year veteran with 64 career starts.
Hernandez, a 19-year-old Venezuelan, is batting .259 in 31 games in the minors this year.
The Mariners entered Thursday 1½ games back in the AL wild-card race.
