SEATTLE (AP) - Leading RBI producer Raul Ibanez heads the list of three Mariners who have field for free agency.
Seattle also announced Friday that it activated infielder-outfielder Mike Morse from the 60-day disabled list. Morse had shoulder surgery after an injury in a game on April 13. Utility reserve Willie Bloomquist and veteran infielder Miguel Cairo also filed for free agency this week. New Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik has acknowledged he has a big decision to make on how hotly to pursue Ibanez. Zduriencik says he knows how good a player the 36-year-old outfielder has been and how popular he has been in Seattle. Ibanez has said he likes Seattle but also wants to be on a competitive team. The Mariners' roster is at 39 players, one short of the league maximum. |
