Mariner reaction to Zito signing with Giants

Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times has a story on yesterday's Barry Zito signing and how the Mariners will try to move ahead without signing the big ticket free agent.

The headline will give you a feel for the tone of the article.

M's record another offseason strikeout

Click on the headline to read the whole story, but I wanted to focus on one part of the piece:
"Now that all the major free agents are signed, we're looking for the trade market," [Mariner president Chuck] Armstrong said. "But you've got to trade something to get something."

Baker homes in on the unlikely possibility of trading Richie Sexson and/or Adrian Beltre. If there is going to be a trade it is probably going to involve prospects (read: Ex-Timber Rattlers) like Snelling, Fruto, and Soriano.
