The first significant Seattle Mariners trade of the 2023 MLB trade deadline season has arrived, and it’s a big one.
The Mariners are sending veteran reliever Paul Sewald to the Arizona Diamondbacks for three young players: infielder/outfielder Josh Rojas, outfielder/first baseman Dominic Canzone, and infield prospect Ryan Bliss.
In 2023, Sewald has a career-high 21 saves, the most recent of which coincidentally came Friday in Arizona against his new team. In his three years with Seattle, Sewald has been one of the best high-leverage bullpen arms in baseball despite struggling in parts of four prior seasons with the New York Mets. Over 172 appearances for the Mariners, he owns a 2.88 ERA, 0.926 WHIP, 12.4 strikeouts per nine innings and 4.29 strikeouts per walk ratio.
