The Mariners traded Sewald to Arizona at the trade deadline in 2023 for infielders Josh Rojas and Ryan Bliss, as well as outfielder Dom Canzone. At the time of the trade, M's fans were outraged as Sewald was a successful reliever who was popular with fans and in the clubhouse. The 34-year-old spent parts of three seasons with the Mariners , pitching in 171.2 innings. He had 52 saves with Seattle in those three seasons, pairing with Drew Steckenrider, Andres Munoz, Matt Brash and others at various points to make an elite bullpen.In his absence, Munoz has ascended to the closer for the M's and was named an All-Star earlier this season.
