Mariners Acquire Miles Mastrobuoni From Cubs
56 seconds agoThe Seattle Mariners acquired infielder Miles Mastrobuoni from the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, the Cubs announced. The move comes after the Cubs designated Mastrobuoni for assignment last week. The 29-year-old infielder will now head to the American League West and will provide the M's with infield depth heading into the 2025 season. Mastrobuoni, a former 14th-round selection by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2016 out of the University of Nevada, Reno, debuted in the big leagues in 2022 with Tampa but played in only eight games. He hit .221/.282/.268 with a homer, nine RBI, 15 steals and 33 runs scored in 110 games for the Cubbies the last two years as a reserve. He's a serviceable utility infielder but has very little offensive upside, and with minor-league options remaining, there's a good chance he'll open the year at Triple-A Tacoma.
