White Sox, Mariners Have Discussed Viciedo Deal
The White Sox and*Mariners*have discussed a deal involving outfielder Dayan Viciedo (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/vicieda01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com),*Bruce Levine of CBSChicago.com reports (http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/03/08/levine-viciedo-being-watched-by-seattle/). The White Sox are **t actively looking to trade Viciedo, although they are willing to take calls on him, Levine **tes. Levine suggests that the White Sox might want to receive a left-handed potential power hitter in return.
The Mariners admire Viciedo's talent and are looking to add a right-handed hitter to their lineup. Viciedo will make $2.8MM in 2014, and will **t be eligible for free agency until after the 2017 season.
Viciedo hit .265/.304/.426 in 473 plate appearances for the White Sox last season, a disappointing year, given that Viciedo is **t a plus defensive outfielder. (As the Seattle Times' Jerry Brewer recently **ted (http://seattletimes.com/html/jerrybrewer/2023084762_brewer09xml.html), the Mariners struggled with outfield defense last season. Viciedo would be unlikely to help in that area.) The Mariners are currently slated to go with an outfield mix of Dustin Ackley (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/ackledu01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), Abraham Almonte (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/almonab01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), Michael Saunders (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/saundmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), Corey Hart (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hartco01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com), Logan Morrison (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/morrilo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) and perhaps Endy Chavez (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/chaveen01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com)*or a**ther bench candidate, with Hart and Morrison also receiving time at first base and DH.*
