According to Ken Rosenthal, the Mariners are the frontrunners to sign free agent starter Jeff Weaver. An agreement could be reached tonight once the number of years is decided.
This would be a Bill Bavasi signing I actually wouldn’t mind. Pushing Baek/Woods out of the rotation is a good thing, and the commitment to Weaver shouldn’t be huge. It’s a revamped rotation for Seattle, though Weaver doesn’t fit the groundball mold of a lot of their other offseason acquisitions (Ramirez, Batista, Reitsma).
