Pirates acquired C Jeff Clement and four others from the Mariners for RHP Ian Snell and SS Jack Wilson.
Clement learned he was going to be traded Tuesday night, hours before anything broke to the media. There have been questions about his defense, but the 25-year-old was batting .288/.366/.505 with 14 home runs and 68 RBI at Triple-A Tacoma and could crack the majors with the Pirates fairly soon.
