Seattle did well here to pick up a veteran left-hand-hitting outfielder who has experience playing in the American League West (former Oakland Athletics player). He should be a nice complement to Cano and fellow newcomer Cruz in the middle of the Mariners lineup.

Smith essentially lost his job in the San Diego outfield this off-season after the club went on a shopping spree to land Kemp Upton and Myers Therefore, the Padres decided to send him back to the American League for reliever Maurer, a decent pitcher who should help the Padres in 2015.

Smith moves from one pitcher-friendly park to another but his playing time is far more guaranteed now that he's in Seattle. Therefore, Smith's fantasy value is on the rise. Maurer's fantasy value, on the other hand, remains limited since he won't be a candidate for a lot of saves in San Diego.
