Andrew McCutchen a Target for the Seattle Mariners?

According to Ryan Duvault of inquisitr.com that Seattle Mariners plan on making a play for Andrew McCutchen this off-season. He mostly talks about how the Mariners are looking to upgrade their current outfield and with good reason. They have a defensive stud in center field in Leonys Martin. However, Martin on the offensive side of things is below average, sporting a career .252 batting average wand a meager .671 OPS.

Even with a down year, Cutch’s numbers dwindle Martins. Now you can argue that in a pitcher’s ballpark like Safeco you need a strong defensive center-fielder.
