Paul Sullivan - Cubs call Murton back up, but only as trade bait?

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Cubs recalled Matt Murton from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday and sent Eric Patterson back down, though they may just be showcasing Murton for a possible deal.

...

General manager Jim Hendry sent special assistant Ken Kravec to scout Boston this week in Cincinnati and Philadelphia. The Cubs still are interested in Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp,and now may be willing to include Rich Hill in a multiplayer package. Murton was acquired from Boston in the Nomar Garciaparra deal in '04.

Geoff Baker - Notebook | Jeff Clement to get bulk of time at catcher

The Mariners have explored the possibility of moving left fielder Raul Ibanez into a DH role. One way the Ichiro shift to right would allow that to happen is if the Mariners can find a full-time left fielder — like Ken Griffey Jr., to name one rumored trade target — to come in and play left.

Another possibility is taking a run at Boston Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp. If Crisp — rumored to be on the block in Boston — were to be acquired, he could play center and Reed and Bloomquist could move to left.

But for now, with the trade deadline more than a month away, the Mariners aren't tipping their hand.
