The Seattle Mariners have made a move to improve their infield, acquiring infielder Luis Urias from the Boston Red Sox in a trade. Urias is a 24-year-old infielder who has played for the Red Sox since 2019. He has a career batting average of .269 and an OPS of .732.
Urias is expected to provide the Mariners with a solid defensive presence at shortstop and second base. He has the ability to make all the routine plays and also has some power at the plate. He has hit 14 home runs in his career and has driven in 54 runs.
The Mariners have been looking to upgrade their infield for some time now and this trade should help them do that. Urias is a young player with a lot of potential and could be a key piece for the Mariners in the future.
Urias is expected to join the Mariners in spring training and will compete for a spot on the team’s 25-man roster. He will likely be used as a utility infielder, giving the Mariners some much-needed depth at the position.
This trade is a good move for the Mariners, as they get an experienced infielder who can provide some pop at the plate and solid defense in the field. It remains to be seen how Urias will fit into the Mariners’ plans, but this trade should help them improve their infield for years to come.
