The Mariners want to upgrade their offense, but they aren't targeting Josh Hamilton.

Jack Zduriencik didn't close the door entirely on Hamilton, but indicated the length of contract and financial commitment the five-time All-Star outfielder will be seeking "might surpass where we're going to be."

"You have to be realistic about how you're going to allocate your dollars," Zduriencik said. "Some of these things drag out and if you're sitting there waiting on one chip, other chips in front of you might go away and you end up with nothing."
