Mariners Acquire Cameron Maybin

By Jeff Todd | July 31, 2018 at 1:24pm CDT

The Marlins and Mariners have announce a deal that sends veteran outfielder Cameron Maybin to Seattle, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times tweets. Prospect Bryson Brigman and $250K of international pool money are heading to Miami in the deal, per reports from Divish, Jon Heyman of Fancred (via Twitter), and MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez (via Twitter).

Maybin, 31, is earning just $3.25MM on the season under the one-year deal he inked over the winter. That makes him an affordable addition to the Seattle organization.

Though he struggled for much of the early portion of the season at the plate, Maybin has turned things on recently. Over the month of July, Maybin owns a .309/.427/.456 batting line with three home runs and five steals through 68 plate appearances. On the year, he’s producing at about 10% below the league-average rate, much as he did last year.

Of course, much of Maybin’s value is tied up in his legs and glove. He’s grading poorly on the basepaths this year, but that’s likely a blip for a player who was once an elite baserunner and has been quite good in the recent past. Maybin has performed well at all three outfield spots this year in Miami.

For the Mariners, this move adds another versatile piece to the outfield mix. The club added Denard Span a few months back, and he has performed quite well. Mitch Haniger has proven worthy of regular time and Ben Gamel has knocked around opposing righties. Maybin could ultimately displace Guillermo Heredia, who has stalled out at the plate, or join him to form a pair of right-handed options to go with the lefty-hitting Span and Gamel.

Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald (via Twitter) and Craig Mish of MLB Network Radio (via Twitter) reported that the Fish were about to make another swap.

      Why on earth do my fellow Yankees fans need to embarrass the rest of the fan base this much? Cashman traded for Happ and Britton. Lynn was an extra piece. Few teams have made more consequential moves leading up to the deadline. Just because it doesn’t happen on the 31st doesn’t detract anything.

      Yeah lol get over it. Far cry from Yanks thinking DeGrom, Mad Bum or Archer.
      Oh then theirs the Sonny Gray for Harper BS Yank fans have come up with. Yank fans all talk no action and full of BS 99.9% of the time. Just like last year Sonny Gray will rock the rotation. Yeah ok Disney World is in Florida. Lol Typical NY fan. I shouldn’t say that. Because some are cool. Cashman a great GM. If you haven’t noticed he did get Britton and Haop. But no some fans are thinking Archer, Mad Bum, DeGrom, Harper Macho and live in la la land. The fans said it tight you make Yank fans look bad.

      How about Stanton at the beginning of the season? How about Britton? I am a Mariners fan, we didn’t do much either, but our big acquisition was Dee Gordon and then Span and Colome…..We also got that guy from you as well as Zach Duke. Maybin will be an upgrade, but a modest one.

      Why even trade for Maybin. Has been a non factor his whole career. Wasted trade even if it was for free

    Maybin should have played more this year. Some of the brutal stuff we saw in the OF, I found myself asking why he wasnt playing a lot. Especially when Prado was out, they moved Anderson to the OF, which has actually looked good, but they could have kept him at 3b or moved Dietrich back there, and played Maybin, instead of letting Yadiel Rivera and JT Riddle trash up the left side of the infield

    Have to give Maybin props for how he looked while he was here. Was only 10 years in the making……………..

    Mr. Dipoto, I have 2 words for you: STARTING PITCHING.

    Oh, I forgot, I have 2 more words for you: STARTING PITCHING.

    And before I forget… STARTING BLEEPING PITCHING!!!!

    Gonzales and LeBlanc are going to hit the wall soon since neither of them has pitched this much in a season, and Felix has allowed himself to become a total headcase and not realize that his fastball is now his worst pitch, by far. Paxton looked great last night, and Leake is solid. But the M’s need a starter to, at the very least, eat some innings that might otherwise have to go to the starters they’re trying to rest for the stretch run. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll pluck Ervin Santana from the Twins today… or maybe after the deadline (doubtful he’d be claimed on waivers.) But once again, like this past winter, the most pressing need for this team has been ignored. Grrrrr……

    I like this pickup. If we can get a SP that’s decent before the deadline, I’ll be pretty stoked. This is the closest Seattle has been to the playoffs in a good while, and Jerry is doing fantastic work so far in the 3 names he’s picked up based on our budget. I just want to see the M’s do something big! The time is now!

      Mlb.com scouting report seems to hate him lol. “Decent defender with no arm and makes contact, but $#!+ty contact, and isnt strong at all, and is old for the level, and maybe can be minor league infield depth”

    Haniger, Heredia, Spann, Gamel, Maybin… that’s about 1 outfielder too many. Either Heredia is headed to Tacoma or to the DL.
