FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Reds scouted the Mariners' Jason Vargas and Doug Fister in Toronto this week. Vargas has two more years of salary arbitration and Fister has yet to reach arbitration, so the Mariners don't have any extra incentive to deal either hurler. But, they'll surely be willing to listen to offers for both. It's clear that the Reds plan to add a starter before the deadline, as they've also been connected to Ubaldo Jimenez and James Shields.
