The Seattle Mariners have acquired infielder Buddy Kennedy from the San Francisco Giants for cash considerations, filling an open 40-man roster spot. Kennedy, recently designated for assignment by the Giants, has struggled in the majors with a .171 batting average but showed promise in Triple-A, hitting .321 with eight home runs this season. At 27, he’s running out of time to convert minor league success into major league production, as he lacks minor league options. His right-handed bat adds depth to a lefty-heavy Mariners infield.
