TORONTO TRADES TEOSCAR HERNANDEZ TO SEATTLE
The Seattle Mariners acquired outfielder Teoscar Hernandez from the Toronto Blue Jays for pitchers Erik Swanson and Adam Macko.
What does it give the Seattle Mariners
In Hernandez, the Mariners get a versatile outfielder with serious home-run power. He can play all three outfield positions, which should help Seattle. That said, he is expected to patrol right field for the most part as a member of the Mariners.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays decided to part ways with one of their power hitters here, with the hope of becoming a more balanced offensive team in 2023. Swanson should find a spot in Toronto's bullpen in '23, while Macko is a left-handed pitching prospect with some promise.
Fantasy impact
Hernandez should remain a good source of home runs and runs batted in as a member of the Mariners. He is not elite but should be drafted in most leagues. Swanson is not a draft option at this time, while Macko is a few years away from the fantasy radar.
