The Seattle Mariners have acquired second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier in a trade with the San Diego Padres. Going to San Diego will be hard-throwing left-handed reliever Raymond Kerr and outfielder Corey Rosier.
Frazier, who turns 30 in December, was an All-Star last season for Pittsburgh, which dealt him to the Padres. He's in line to play in a super-utility role, especially if Seattle signs a big-name free-agent infielder.
"We thought we were at the goal line to acquire Adam at trade deadline last year,'' Mariners president Jerry Dipoto said.
