The Cincinnati Reds acquired first baseman Ty France from the Seattle Mariners on Monday in exchange for minor league catcher Andruw Salcedo.
The Reds also received cash considerations in the deal.
France, 30, was designated for assignment last week after batting .223 with eight homers and 31 RBIs in 88 games for the Mariners this season.
An All-Star in 2022, France is a career .264 hitter with 69 home runs and 292 RBIs in 650 games with the San Diego Padres (2019-20) and Mariners.
Salcedo, 21, hails from Colombia and signed with the Reds in 2019. He is batting .188 in seven games this season at Class A Daytona.
