The Seattle Mariners rarely go a week without making a trade. This week will be no different as Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan is reporting the Mariners have acquired outfielder Domingo Santana from the Milwaukee Brewers.

Corey Brock of The Athletics says Milwaukee will receive outfielder Ben Gamel and right-handed pitcher Noah Zavolas.

The trade is already the seventh this offseason by Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto. A total of 33 players have been involved. His last trade remarkably came from his hospital bed in Las Vegas during the winter meetings.

The Santana addition continues Seattle’s trend of replacing an aging and disappointing roster with younger and higher upside talent. The 26-year-old outfielder had a disappointing 2018 season himself, hitting just .265/.328/.412 with only five homers and 20 RBIs in limited playing time. But he flashed immense power in 2017, hitting 30 homers for Milwaukee.

After adding Christian Yelich and Lorenzo Cain last winter, the Brewers had no incentive to squeeze Santana into their lineup. Some expected Santana to be traded during the season.

Seattle feels like an ideal fit for Santana. Plenty of playing time should be available, and the rest of the baseball world should finally see what Santana is truly capable of.
