David Aardsma Rumors: Seattle Mariners could move reliever on Saturday
By
A source close to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports says the Seattle Mariners may move right-handed reliever David Aardsma on Saturday. Morosi notes that Aardsma has had six straight scoreless outing.
Last week, Morosi said the Detroit Tigers were keeping tabs on Aardsma and Brandon League.
A couple of weeks ago, Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe asked Aardsma about a possible return to Boston as a seventh-inning man. I’ll take the ball whenever I’m called upon,’’ he said. “I enjoyed my time in Boston. Obviously, coming here gave me the opportunity to be a closer. I thought I was in a good rhythm last year, but haven’t been as solid this year. I have a better approach lately, but I’m not one of those [Mariano] Riveras or Jonathan Papelbons who is untouchable. If I’m traded, then I hope it’s to a good situation.’
Aardsma, 28, is 0-6 with 4.59 ERA with 18 saves in 36 appearances this season. He is being paid $2.75 million for 2010 and will be a free agent after the season.
