SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners acquired All-Star second baseman Adam Frazier in a trade with the San Diego Padres.
The move cost Seattle two minor leaguers, but it addresses one of the team’s biggest needs entering the offseason; adding a middle infielder to pair with shortstop J.P. Crawford. Frazier’s versatility means the Mariners can still be aggressive with other possible transactions should another middle infielder become available.
The Padres acquired left-handed reliever Ray Kerr and outfielder Corey Rosier.
