In a blockbuster five-player deal, the Seattle Mariners trade Jarred Kelenic to the Atlanta Braves.
As part of the agreement, cash is also given to Atlanta. The deal was characterized as a salary dump for Seattle by ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Gonzales had a $12.25 million 2024 salary due, and White had a $7 million salary. The Mariners had to package the two with the 24-year-old Kelenic in order to part with that cash.
