Seattle was once considered a possible landing spot for free agent outfielder Nick Swisher. The two no longer seem to be a match as the 32-year-old will no longer meet with the Mariners this week.<\/p>\n

If Seattle were to sign Swisher they would forfeit the twelfth pick in the 2013 draft. Signing Michael Bourn would also cost the Mariners the draft pick.<\/p>\n

Last season Swisher hit .272\/.364\/.473 with 24 home runs. His 93 RBI were two short of his career high from the 2006 season.<\/p>\n
