Mariners Seek Impact Bat For Aardsma
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 21, 2010 at 9:27pm CST]

The Mariners are looking for an "impact bat" in exchange for closer David
Aardsma, according to MLB.com's Thomas Harding. As Troy Renck of the Denver
Post reported last week, Aardsma doesn't appear to be a fit with the Rockies,
who believe the Mariners are asking for too much. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports
reported that the Mariners are looking to trade Aardsma, who turns 29 next
week.

Aardsma will earn a raise from his 2010 salary of $2.75MM when he and the
Mariners determine his upcoming salary through the arbitration process. The
reliever has posted high strikeout, walk and save totals since joining the
Mariners and 2010 was no exception. In 49 2/3 innings last year, he posted a
3.44 ERA with 8.9 K/9, 4.5 BB/9 and 31 saves. Aardsma may have seen his trade
value jump because of the rising cost of free agent relievers, as as MLBTR's
Mike Axisa explains here.

The Rockies are considering a number of alternatives, including Grant
Balfour, Todd Coffey, Jon Rauch, Chad Qualls and Joe Beimel. GM Dan O'Dowd
told Harding that he would sign certain relievers to multiyear deals, but
would generally prefer to make short-term commitments.
