11/27/2021 18:59:25 GMT + 00: 00 – The Seattle Mariners acquired all-star second-player Adam Frazier from the San Diego Padres on Saturday in exchange for left-hander Ray Kerr and outfielder Corey Rosier.

“Adam is a seasoned, versatile, and versatile player,” said Jerry Dipoto, Mariners president of baseball operations. “His presence makes our line-up longer and our team more complete.”

Frazier didn’t stay in San Diego long. It was acquired, along with monetary considerations by the Padres, of the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 26th in exchange for infielder / outfielder Tucupita Marcano, outfield contender Jack Suwinski and right-handed pitching contender Michell Miliano.

Frazier, who will turn 30 in December, was an All-Star at Pittsburgh last season. Also a part-time outfielder, he hit .305 with five homers and 43 RBIs in 155 games shared with the Pirates and Padres last season.

He has beaten .281 with 40 homers, 127 doubles and 215 RBIs in 665 career games since Pittsburgh was selected from the state of Mississippi in the sixth round of the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft.

Kerr, 27, has an 11-19 record with 3.91 ERA in 98 minor league games (36 starts). The hard-throwing hurler, who has yet to make his major league debut, posted a 2-1 mark with five saves and an ERA of 3.18 in 36 games between Double-A Arkansas and Triple-A Tacoma last season.

Rosier, 22, beat .380 with three homers and 23 RBIs in 32 games with the Arizona Rookie League Mariners and Single-A Modesto in 2021.
