Mariners trade Robbie Ray to Giants for Mitch Haniger, Anthony DeSclafani - ESPN

The San Francisco Giants on Friday acquired former Cy Young winner Robbie Ray from the Seattle Mariners for outfielder Mitch Haniger and right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, a swap of veterans that could portend more moves.

Ray, 32, is owed $73 million over the final three seasons of his contract and is coming off Tommy John surgery. He is expected to return sometime after the All-Star break. His contract contains an opt-out after the 2024 season, when he is scheduled to be paid $23 million.

Haniger, 33, spent five seasons with the Mariners before signing a three-year, $43.5 million free agent deal with the Giants last winter. He is due $17 million this season, after which he has an opt-out, and $15.5 million in 2025.

DeSclafani, 33, is in the final season of a three-year, $36 million deal and is owed $12 million in 2024.

To even out the 2024 salaries, San Francisco will send $3 million to Seattle, which could slot Haniger into a corner-outfield or designated hitter role. Ray and Haniger each will receive $1 million assignment bonuses for being traded.

The Mariners also are in discussions about another trade for a corner outfielder, sources told ESPN. After finishing 88-74 and missing the playoffs by one game, the Mariners have refashioned their roster, trading third baseman Eugenio Suarez and left fielder Jarred Kelenic while losing outfielder Teoscar Hernandez to free agency. Seattle signed catcher/DH Mitch Garver to a two-year, $24 million deal to back up Cal Raleigh and add pop to a lineup in need of it beyond Raleigh, center fielder Julio Rodriguez and shortstop J.P. Crawford.

While the Giants missed on free agent targets Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, both of whom went to the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, moving
