Mariners trade Brandon Maurer to Padres for Seth Smith

The Mariners agreed to trade pitcher Brandon Maurer to the Padres in exchange for outfielder Seth Smith.

In 2014, the right-handed Maurer went 1-4 with a 4.65 ERA and fills the Padres’ need for bullpen help. The left-handed-hitting Smith hit .266 with 12 homeruns and 48 RBI in 136 games.
