Mariners Considering Willingham, Craig

The Mariners aren't looking to add talent at the trade deadline in an effort to make a playoff push, but they do want to "buy" hitters.

Seattle has the worst offense in the American League, averaging 3.9 runs per game through Sunday.

The Mariners would like to add a hitter that can help them over the next two or three seasons.

They are focused on Minnesota's Josh Willingham (signed through 2014) and Allen Craig (under control through 2016) of St. Louis.

Yankees Broadcaster On M's Plunking Batters: 'That's Enough'

Felix Hernandez hit Ichiro Suzuki, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez with pitches on Tuesday night.

The pitch that hit Rodriguez broke his hand and the Yankees third baseman will miss 6-8 weeks of action.

The next night, Seattle reliever Josh Kinney followed suit by hitting Jeter again.

"You know, I'm sure none of these are on purpose," announcer Suzyn Waldman said on the air, "but these are major-league pitchers and that's enough of this, Seattle."
