Yonder Alonso might struggle with the little things. Like where to park at the Oakland Coliseum. Which clubhouse door to take. When batting practice starts.

The Seattle Mariners hope the All-Star first baseman has no problem with the bigger things, like driving in runs.

The Mariners acquired Alonso in a trade with the Oakland Athletics on Sunday in exchange for minor league outfielder Boog Powell.

Alonso is expected to make his Mariners debut Tuesday when the teams open a two-game series in Oakland.

Alonso admitted Sunday he was stunned when told of the trade.
