Seattle will receive a player to be named later or cash considerations from the Giants in the deal
The Mariners, though just 5 1/2 games out of first place in the American League West entering the week, continued to sell after dealing right-handed closer Paul Sewald to the Arizona Diamondbacks for two big-leaguers and a prospect earlier Monday
The Giants, meanwhile, added two bats as they entered the week just two games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first in the National League West
Pollock, 35, will play for his fourth team in three years. The former Dodger spent 2022 with the Chicago White Sox before coming to the Mariners ahead of the 2023 campaign. He is batting just .173 with five home runs and 15 RBIs in 49 games for the Mariners
A career .273 hitter, Pollock has totaled 145 homers and 485 RBIs over 1,082 career games for the Diamondbacks (2012-18), Dodgers (2019-21), White Sox and Mariners. He was an All-Star and Gold Glove selection in 2015
The Mariners selected Mathias, 28, off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 2. He had yet to play for Seattle
In 68 career games for the Milwaukee Brewers (2020, 2022), Texas Rangers (2022) and Pirates, Mathias has batted .249 with six home runs and 28 RBIs while scoring 20 runs. He batted .231 in 22 games for Pittsburgh earlier this year
