Brandon League:

The Mariners are staying busy.

On Monday, the club reached a tentative agreement on a trade that would send right-hander Brandon Morrow to the Blue Jays for right-handed reliever Brandon League and a prospect, Fox Sports reported. A Mariners spokesman wouldn't comment on the report.

Morrow, 25, went 2-4 with a 4.39 ERA in 69 2/3 innings for the Mariners last season. He is 8-12 with a 3.96 ERA in 197 2/3 innings for his career. League, 26, is 7-10 with a 4.09 ERA in 202 1/3 innings for the Blue Jays starting in 2004.

He went 3-6 with a 4.58 ERA in 74 2/3 innings for Toronto in 2009.
The players must pass physicals to complete the trade, according to the report.

So far this offseason, the Mariners have added versatile infielder Chone Figgins, sent Carlos Silva to the Cubs for Milton Bradley and were key players in a three-team deal that brought Cliff Lee to Seattle.

Last year, the club acquired center fielder Franklin Gutierrez and shortstop Jack Wilson.
