ESPN Insider writes that the Seattle Mariners and their GM Jack Zduriencik still have work to do.  They have money left to spend and they have trade bait that can attract many teams.

While the Mariners can possibly trade anybody in their organization, they want to make sure that the core of their team stays intact.  Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times isolates three Mariner prospects that he considers their top trade inventory:  shortstop Carlos Truinfel, RHP Mark Lowe and second baseman Jose Lopez.

Zduriencik repeatedly said he wanted two starting pitchers before acquiring Cliff Lee.  The Mariners were believed to have been chasing Erik Bedard, but the uncertainty of his health may be a liability.  The Mariners are still in the hunt for that second pitcher.  Possibilities include:  Joel Pineiro, Ben Sheets, Aaron Harang (via trade with the Reds) and Jarrod Washburn
