Mariners Rumors: Seattle "closing in" on trade for a hitter, Marlon Byrd, Dayan Viciedo?

The Seattle Mariners don't appear to be anywhere near done when it comes to upgrading their lineup for the 2015 MLB season, as they apparently have a trade for an as of yet unnamed bat up their sleeves.

According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, rumblings around the organization signal to a trade being pulled off in the near future:

A couple of names that have been linked to the Mariners in trade rumors over recent days include Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Marlon Byrd and Chicago White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo.

Both Viciedo and Byrd are reportedly available on the current trade market and provide a potential fit for a Mariners team that has been searching for an impact outfield bat all offseason long.
