The Mariners are continuing their pursuit of Rays starting pitcher David Price, and believe they have a trump card if they want to pull the trigger. CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman reported Monday the Mariners believe Price would be theirs if they were willing to include pitching prospect Taijuan Walker.
The Mariners are hesitant to include Walker or fellow prospect James Paxton, and are instead looking to build an offer around a series of position prospects.
