Mariners acquired INF Jake Scheiner and cash considerations from the Phillies for 1B/OF Jay Bruce.
The deal is more of a salary dump than anything else for the Mariners, but they’ll net Scheiner as well. The 23-year-old was a fourth-round selection of the Phillies from the 2017 draft class. He has played 44 games at High-A Clearwater this season, slashing .256/.326/.353 with two homers, 19 RBI, three swipes and a 28/16 K/BB ratio in 179 plate appearances.
