The Seattle Mariners are believed to be interested in Red Sox left-handed starter Drew Pomeranz, Mariners beat reporter Bob Dutton of The News Tribune reported:

"The Mariners' list of potential trade targets is also believed to include Cincinnati right-hander Anthony DeSclafani and Boston lefty Drew Pomeranz (if available; the Red Sox sent mixed messages at the Winter Meetings).

"Other possibilities include two Los Angeles Dodgers who battled injuries last season: lefty Scott Kazmir and right-hander Brandon McCarthy, who each have two years remaining on their contracts."

The Red Sox have seven starting pitchers (Chris Sale, Rick Porcello, David Price, Steven Wright, Eduardo Rodriguez, Drew Pomeranz and Clay Buchholz) right now. And so they likely will move either Buchholz or Drew Pomeranz, although nothing is imminent.

The Red Sox reportedly are more interested in trading Buchholz but teams are more interested in trading for Pomeranz.
