The Seattle Mariners acquired All-Star outfielder Teoscar Hernandez in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday, sending two pitchers back to Canada.
president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said he was going to attack the outfielder market this offseason, and he wasted no time.in exchange for right-handed pitcher Erik Swanson and left-handed pitching prospect Adam Macko.
Teoscar Hernandez of the Toronto Blue Jays celebrates after hitting a home run to center field against the Seattle Mariners during the fourth inning in Game 2 of an American League wild-card series at Rogers Centre Oct. 8, 2022, in Toronto. "We began our offseason with the intent to add impact and length to our lineup," Dipoto said, via the Seattle Times."In adding Teoscar to an already solid foundation, we feel we've become a far more dangerous offensive club."
The Mariners, who made the postseason for the first time since 2001, eliminated Hernandez's Blue Jays in the AL wild-card round before getting swept by the eventual World Series championThe Blue Jays obviously are taking a hit in their outfield, but their bullpen definitely improves with Swanson, who pitched to a 1.68 ERA, striking out 70 batters in 53.2 innings.
