FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Mariners are interested in free agent outfielder Nate McLouth. The Orioles are also interested in retaining McLouth, though executive vice president Dan Duquette said last week that contract talks were going "a little slow." The 31-year-old outfielder impressed down the stretch with Baltimore, hitting .268/.342/.435 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 55 games. He then hit .308 (8-for-26) with a homer, five RBI and three stolen bases during the postseason.
