Report: Mariners interested in Hamilton

aa

The Seattle Mariners are interested in free agent Josh Hamilton, according to Jon Heyman.

Team president Chuck Armstrong:

"GM Jack Zduriencik is looking at it, We are going to have more money to spend. And we do need offense."

The Mariners have failed to sign a big free agent since signing Chone Figgins to a four-year, $36 million deal in December of 2009.

Last season, Hamilton hit .285 with 43 home runs and 128 RBI.
