MLB Network’s Jon Morosi says the Mariners are interested in free agent Ian Happ.

Happ would be a cheaper alternative to his former Cubs teammate Seiya Suzuki, but Suzuki’s right-handed bat would certainly be a better fit in a lefty heavy Seattle lineup. Happ is a switch-hitter, but he’s considerably better against right-handed pitching and he finished out last season as a platoon guy for the Cubs.
