It sounds as if the Mariners are kicking the tires on Jose Berrios. If the price ends up being too high (it likely will), then they could stay on the phone with the Twins to ask about Kenta Maeda.
Byron Buxton turned down an extension recently, and in turn, more and more players from the Twins have been made available.
