The Seattle Mariners have missed out on several targets this
offseason, but they remain “wide open” to making other moves, according to Ken
Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Rosenthal adds that in a perfect world the Mariners

#Mariners' Jack Z says team "wide open" to making other moves. Perfect world: Would like to get leadoff man, middle-of-the-order bat.

The Mariners have watched targets Josh Hamilton, Nick
Swisher and Cody Ross sign elsewhere this winter. Seattle has been in the

3rd time in Mariners Blue
It is pretty obvious that the Mariners front office realizes that something needs to change if they want to keep their jobs.
When the Mariners signed Jason Bay, I thought it was something that could be worth the risk. A change of scenery could be all the guy needs to make things happen again.
It bunched up the DH and outfield slots a bit, especially considering...

The Seattle Mariners' logjam at the first base/DH/left field positions isn't getting cleared up much. Instead, it's getting more jammed. The addition of Raul Ibanez the day after Christmas means the field is absolutely packed heading into spring training, although general manager Jack Zduriencik said there is room for more roster moves between now and mid-February...
