Aaron Heilman won’t be pitching the Seattle Mariners in 2009 as he has been traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Garrett Olson and Ronny Cedeno. Olson was just acquired by the Cubs when they sent Felix Pie to the Balitmore Orioles. Olson is a pitcher that can throw out of the pen as well as make starts. Cedeno is a middle infielder but can also play a little third base if needed.

Heilman was never really in the Mariners plans when they got him the J.J. Putz trade. Getting two quality players for him works out very good for the Mariners. Expect Cedeno to really push Bentancourt and I expect both of them to have pretty good seasons.

Good trade for the Mariners!
