The Mariners acquired Ward from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for Alex Hoppe, Brock Moore and Harrison Kreiling, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Ward has clubbed only seven home runs this season after going deep a career-high 36 times in 2025, but he's remained a productive hitter thanks in large part to an 83:103 BB:K. The 32-year-old is making $12.18 million this season and is an impending free agent.
