FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that the Mariners have engaged in "preliminary discussions" with the Tigers about a trade for outfielder Brennan Boesch.
"No such move is close," writes Morosi, but Boesch could become an attractive fallback option for the Mariners if they're unable to lure in a big free agent outfielder. Boesch, 27, is a .259/.315/.414 career major league hitter through his first 1,487 plate appearances.
