Update: The Mariners have obtained shortstop Jack Wilson and right-hander Ian Snell from the Pirates for infielder Ronny Cedeno, Jeff Clement and three other minor-leaguers.
The move indicates Seattle is not in "sell" mode, which was indicated Tuesday as FanHouse reported the M's planned to hold on to Jarrod Washburn.
Wilson, 31, is an excellent defender who was batting .267 with four homers and 31 RBI. He is eligible for free agency after this season unless Seattle picks up an $8.4 million option.
Snell, 27, was demoted to Triple-A after going 2-8 with a 5.36 ERA for Pittsburgh. In six minor-league starts, he is 2-2 with a 0.96 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings. He is signed through next year ($10.25 million) with a team options for 2011-12.
Mariners prospect Jeff Clement is headed to the Pirates, according to a major league source. The source did not know whom Seattle would receive in return but said there were other M's minor-leaguers involved.
Clement was pulled from his Triple-A game on Tuesday night.
It could be a deal for a pitcher (Zach Duke?) or part of a three-team trade. Also, the M's could use a shortstop, and Pittsburgh has been looking into trading middle infielders Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson.
Clement, 25, is a left-handed hitter whose defense at catcher is suspect and has had trouble against lefty pitchers. But he was the third overall pick in the 2005 draft.
