According to
NESN sideline reporter
Guerin Austin, the Red Sox
have traded LHP Roenis Elias to the Seattle Mariners for a player to be named later
or cash consideration. The 29-year-old Cuban was originally signed by Seattle as a free-agent back in 2011, but was traded to the Red Sox in 2015—along with
Carson Smith—in exchange for
Wade Miley and
Jonathan Aro. Elias saw
very limited action in his two seasons with the Red Sox—posting a gaudy 12.28 ERA over 8.0 total innings of work. In his earlier two-year stint with the Mariners, Elias started 49 games and logged a 15-20 record with a 3.97 ERA.
