The Seattle Mariners will retire Edgar Martinez's No. 11 during a ceremony on Aug. 12 at Safeco Field.

The Mariners are scheduled to face the Los Angeles Angels that night.

"This is an incredible honor for me and my family," Martinez said at a news conference where his framed jersey was unveiled. "It's a gift we'll cherish forever."

Martinez, who is scheduled to begin his second full season as hitting coach on manager Scott Servais' staff when the club opens Spring Training in three weeks, was inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame on June 2, 2007.

The Seattle Mariners and Jean Segura have avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.2 million deal.

Segura made $2.6 million last season.

The Mariners acquired Segura from the Arizona Diamondbacks in late November and he is projected to play shortstop and hit leadoff.

The Seattle Mariners have acquired Drew Smyly from the Tampa Bay Rays for a package of three players.

The Mariners are sending Mallex Smith, who they acquired earlier from the Atlanta Braves, infielder Carlos Vargas and left-hander Ryan Yarbrough to the Rays.

"We have been clear that one of our top priorities this offseason was to continue to bolster our starting rotation," Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. "Today's moves allowed us to add an experienced pitcher to our starting group. Drew took the ball 30 times last season, threw over 175 innings and is a proven performer in the American League. He's a good fit for our club."

Just hours previously, Seattle acquired Smith and right-hander Shae Simmons from Atlanta in exchange for left-handed pitching prospects Luiz Gohara and Thomas Burrows.

Smyly, 27, was 7-12 with 4.88 ERA last season, establishing career highs in starts (30), innings (175 1/3) and strikeouts (167).

The Royals were interested in Seattle right-hander Nathan Karns going back to the winter meetings, but the Mariners were reluctant to give up a power arm under club control through 2020.

That changed on Friday.

After the Mariners traded outfielder Seth Smith to the Baltimore Orioles for veteran right-hander Yovani Gallardo, the idea of shipping Karns away became a bit more palatable. So, the Royals and Mariners were able to reach a deal that sent him to Kansas City for outfielder Jarrod Dyson.

The Mariners landed another option for their pitching rotation Friday, acquiring right-handed pitcher Yovani Gallardo from the Baltimore Orioles for outfielder Seth Smith.

Seattle also will receive $2 million from the Orioles, equalizing the 2017 salaries of the players, in a deal that might solve concerns for both teams.
