The Mariners will receive catcher Steve Clevenger in the
deal, Major League Baseball's website reported on Tuesday.
Trumbo, who was traded to Seattle from Arizona in June, finished
this past season with 22 home runs and 64 RBIs. The 29-year-old
has had a pair of 30-homer seasons during his career and arrives
at a Baltimore team that could lose free agent Chris Davis, who
led the Majors with 47 home runs in 2015.
Clevenger has played sparingly in the Majors, including just 30
games this past campaign. Seattle are moving in a new direction
under general manager Jerry Dipoto, hired in September to
replace Jack Zduriencik.
In October, the Mariners fired manager Lloyd McClendon and
replaced him with Scott Servais.
The team completed a six-player trade last month with Tampa Bay
that shipped away core members Logan Morrison and Brad Miller.
