The Mariners are now turning their attention towards finding a veteran catcher to run their new and improved starting rotation.
Yorvit Torrealba and Bengie Molina are among possible targets, and sources believe the Mariners aren't looking for anything beyond two years.
The Mets are in talks with Bengie Molina, but they are still far apart on negotiations.
Rosenthal reports that the market is in a holding pattern until Molina signs.
"Once Bengie signs," one person in the industry said Saturday, "the catching market is going to go quick."
The Mets, Mariners, Giants, Astros, and Rockies, among others, are keeping tabs on the open catching market.
