In a strategic move to bolster their roster, the Seattle Mariners have acquired infielder Miles Mastrobuoni from the Chicago Cubs. The trade agreement was finalized on January 12, 2025, and heralds a new chapter for Mastrobuoni, who has been a strong player in the Cubs’ organization, giving the Mariners a promising addition to their team. Mariners general manager Justin Hollander expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, ‘We believe Miles brings versatility and depth to our infield lineup, and we expect him to make a significant impact.’ Mastrobuoni, who made his MLB debut in 2022, had previously impressed scouts with his performance in the minor leagues, demonstrating the ability to play multiple positions effectively. In exchange for Mastrobuoni, the Mariners designated infielder Nick Raposo for assignment, an indication of their commitment to improving the team’s overall performance. This trade is seen as part of the Mariners’ broader effort to remain competitive in the American League West as the new season approaches.
