The Mariners are close to finalizing a deal with free-agent first baseman Richie Sexson, Sporting News has learned.
The deal is pending Sexson passing a physical.
The 6-foot-7 Sexson is coming off an injury-shortened season with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He hurt his left shoulder twice and did not play after May, batting .233 with nine homers and 23 RBIs.
Still, his proven power makes him an attractive free agent. Sexson, who will turn 30 on Dec. 29, hit 45 homers for Milwaukee in 2001 and 2003, and he has four career 100-RBI seasons.
The Diamondbacks sent six players to the Brewers for Sexson last year, including Lyle Overbay. Sexson, who received $8.6 million for his 23-game season, filed for free agency last month and has given no indication that he plans to return to a team that lost 111 games last season.
