The Seattle Mariners have acquired outfielder Leody Taveras from the Texas Rangers, amidst several roster changes, including the reinstatement of Dylan Moore from the injured list. Taveras, who has experienced a difficult start to the season, was a key player in the Rangers' recent World Series victory but has struggled offensively this year. The move comes as the Mariners aim to bolster their lineup while also designating Luis F. Castillo for assignment and sending Samad Taylor to Triple-A. Seattle assumes Taveras' contract, hoping for a turnaround in his performance.
The Seattle Mariners claimed outfielder Leody Taveras off waivers from the Texas Rangers while making several roster changes ahead of the season's latter half.
Taveras, a 26-year-old outfielder, joins the Mariners after starting all five games in the Rangers' 2023 World Series win, but was waived after a recent cold streak.
In addition to claiming Taveras, the Mariners reinstated Dylan Moore from the injured list, optioned Samad Taylor to Triple-A, and designated Luis F. Castillo for assignment.
While Taveras is a career .240 hitter, the Mariners hope he can improve offensively, as they assume his $3.25 million contract through the season.
