The rumor is that the Seattle Mariners are in talks with the San Francisco Giants about a possible deal for RP Armando Benitez. According to the Yahoo! Sports rumors page, "The Mariners already have their closer in J.J. Putz, but having Benitez as a setup right-hander would make the Seattle bullpen incrementally stronger." So what are the odds of this trade happening?

Do teh Giants have anothere pitcher to take over the closers role. It would take a lot to give him up.

Armando Benetiz is not as good as he once was (with the Mets).

But wasn't Benetiz once on Seattle already?

Yeah, you know what, I think he was with the M's once, Marc. Not sure what the Giants plan is for replacing him... but they must have something in mind because they sure seem to be eager to shop him.
