NextImg:Rays trade Randy Arozarena to Mariners in pre-deadline stunner

The Mariners are hoping to infuse some major help to their struggling offense.

Seattle has acquired outfielder Randy Arozarena in a trade with the Rays, according to multiple reports.

Tampa Bay will get back two prospects, outfielder Aidan Smith and pitcher Brody Hopkins, along with a player to be named later, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

The Post’s Jon Heyman reported Thursday that the Mariners and Dodgers were interested in Arozarena.

The 2021 Rookie of the Year and 2023 American League All-Star got off to a slow start this year, but has crushed 15 homers and has an OPS+ of 106, which is slightly above league average.

He has belted 86 homers and has a .442 slugging percentage in six seasons with the Rays.

The Mariners are 53-51 and one game back of the Astros, who recently surpassed Seattle in the AL West.

Seattle’s offense has been a key issue this season, as they rank dead last in MLB in average (.216) and third-worst in OPS (.660).

At the end of May, they fired offensive coordinator and bench coach Brant Brown as struggles mounted.
