M's plan to spend at winter meetings (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Jack Zduriencik (zur-REN'-cik) has money to spend at baseball's winter meetings. The Mariners' general manager said Thursday, four days before the meetings begin in Indianapolis, that Seattle "certainly has needs to fill" for 2010. The contracts of veterans Adrian Beltre, Miguel Batista and Erik Bedard and others expired, freeing up perhaps $30 million.
