MARINERS TRADE FOR CATCHER PEREDA

The Seattle Mariners acquired catcher Jhonny Pereda from the Minnesota Twins for cash.

What does it give the Seattle Mariners
Venezuelan Pereda, who turns 30 early on in the 2026 campaign, should compete for backup catching duties behind Cal Raleigh in Seattle.

What does it give the Minnesota Twins
The Twins had recently designated Pereda for assignment, so they were at least able to get back some cash for his services. Minnesota has catching depth.
