MARINERS ACQUIRE RANDY AROZARENA FROM RAYS

The Rays are officially sellers. The Seattle Mariners are finalizing a trade that will land them outfielder Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays in the hope of boosting their slumping offense. The Rays, in return, will receive outfielder Aidan Smith, right-hander Brody Hopkins and a player to be named later.

The Mariners are in the midst of a major slide over the past month that has seen them lose a 10-game lead in the AL West largely due to an offense that has struggled. Seattle is 9-20 since June 19 and now trails Houston in the division standings.
