Cross Eric Wedge Off The List

Jon Heyman at SI reports that Eric Wedge will be the next manager of the Seattle Mariners. Wedge was the first candidate interviewed by the Pirates and had strong connections to Neal Huntington from their time together with the Cleveland Indians. Wedge was picked over Bobby Valentine, Cecil Cooper, John Gibbons and others in Seattle.

UPDATE by Charlie: Well, we knew this was a possibility - Wedge was a pretty strong contender for the Cubs job too.
