4:04pm: Kovacevic confirmed it, the deal is worth $10MM.
3:58pm: Kovacevic says the deal is believed to be worth a total of $10MM.
3:33pm: The Mariners signed shortstop Jack Wilson to a two-year deal, according to a team press release. Terms were not disclosed, but the sides were said by Dejan Kovacevic to be discussing a deal worth more than $8MM. Wilson's new deal overwrites an $8.4MM club option for 2010.
Wilson, 32 in December, is renowned for his defensive ability. In Wilson and Franklin Gutierrez, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik has acquired two of the game's best defenders at their respective positions in his year with the club. The Mariners' left-side infield could be a wall if Zduriencik re-signs Adrian Beltre or inks Joe Crede.
