FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Mariners are interested in Kyle Blanks. The problem is that Blanks is dealing with tendinitis in both Achilles tendons and has no timetable for a return. The outfielder/first baseman is also making just $605,000 this season and is under team control through 2015, so it remains to be seen if the Padres would have any interest in dealing him.
