The Mariners could still re-sign first baseman Russell Branyan if he can be had for a one-year deal.
Branyan is looking to cash in on the career year he had in 2009, but the market for his services hasn't played out in his favor.
He hit .251 with 31 home runs and 76 RBI in 2009.

The Mariners have spent a considerable amount of money this winter, but Buster Olney of ESPN reports that they are still looking at either a first baseman or second baseman.
A lot will depend on what they decide to do with Jose Lopez, who played second base in 2009, and they also want to add to the back-end of their rotation.

The Blue Jays and Mariners have finalized the trade that will send pitcher Brandon Morrow to Toronto for reliever Brandon League and a minor leaguer.
"We acquired a very talented arm, and we gave up a very talented arm," Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said on a conference call Wednesday. "They just fit different roles in each organization."
Zduriencik called it a tough decision that was debated for almost two months and through perhaps as many as 15 conversations with Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos.
Seattle shuffled Morrow from the bullpen to the rotation.
"Looking back on it, it may not have been the greatest thing in the world for Brandon," Zduriencik said. "But it's a double-edged sword. He did gain major league experience that was invaluable for him."
