It's going to be awhile before Jose Guillen's status for next season is resolved.

The Mariners' right fielder has a contract option for the 2008 season. However, it's a mutual option, meaning either side can terminate the deal.

Right now Guillen's situation is on the back burner as the club tries to sort out its goals for the offseason.

"There has been little or no talk with Seattle," Adam Katz, Guillen's agent, said Monday, "but that's not that unusual for right now.

"They're doing their organizational thing, looking at their options. It's standard operating procedure."
