The Baltimore Orioles have added Mark Trumbo in a trade with the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n

In exchange for shipping Trumbo to the charm city, the Seattle Mariners acquired catcher Steve Clevenger.<\/p>\n

Once a star o the Los Angeles Angles, Trumbo has been a disappointment for the past two seasons spending time with the Mariners and the Arizona Diamondbacks before.\u00a0Splitting time between both teams last season Trumbo hit a combined .262\/.310\/.449 with 22 home runs and 64 RBI.<\/p>\n

The Orioles are taking a risk that they can catch lighting in a bottle with Trumbo hoping to see some of the form which\u00a0resulted in him hitting\u00a0.251\/.300\/.473 with 95 home runs and 282 RBI from 2011-2013 with the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n

Acquiring Trumbo from the Mariners may be a sign that the Orioles plan to part with star first baseman Chris Davis who hit 47 home runs a season ago but is the biggest fish on the free agent market.<\/p>\n

The Mariners get a backup catcher in Clevenger who may end up seeing more playing time\u00a0should\u00a0Chris Iannetta, another catcher acquired in a trade<\/a>, fail to produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
