The Mariners have traded Aaron Heilman for utilityman Ronny Cedeno and LHP Garrett Olson. Lookout Landing:

Trade Thoughts
Palm Ball NW/Bleeding Blue and Teal —
... as is middle relief candidate Randy Messenger (released to make room for Cedeno and Olson on the 40-man roster). Zduriencik also gets his utility infielder that he was looking for, upgrading on Rule 5er Reegie Corona and getting someone who can challenge Betancourt for the starting shortstop gig. Zduriencik also adds to the upper level starting pitching depth, adding his third AAA-level lefty this offseason (Olson, Vargas, Seddon).
Good trade.

Cedeno and Olson for...Heilman?
MLB Review —
... Olson is only 25 and is under team control for 5 years, Lookout Landing reports. LL recognizes Olson as a "ML caliber starting pitcher". He had a 2.8 K/BB and a 8.8 K/9 in the high minors. Right now, he is a potential No. 5 starter right now, but could become a much greater pitcher than he is now with some time in the minors. Since the team isn't going anywhere fast, I think that's the right move for now. One day he could be a very solid No. 4 pitcher behind Felix, Bedard and Morrow, if they all stick around. ...
