Branyan would rather test the market than settle for anything less than a two-year deal. "My agent (Danny Lozano) said he's confident that we will get something done with Seattle," Branyan said. "He also told me not to take the (one-year offer) personally. It's just part of the negotiating process. He knows and the Mariners know I would take less to play there than somewhere else. All I want is to be treated fairly." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/632311 632311 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:48:01 EDT kffl.com 10 days 16 hours 7 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/632311 The Mariners have extended Branyan a contract offer, the Tacoma News Tribune reports.

However, manager Don Wakamatsu has not given up hope that Branyan will receive at least a few more at bats before the end of the season. "We would like him to be back for what he's done, to get at least a day in the lineup, but we're not going to force that," Wakamatsu said. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/557357 557357 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:08:01 EDT kffl.com 51 days 20 hours 47 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/557357 Branyan (back) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday.

I would say I'm probably between 80 and 85 percent right now, and if I pushed it to come back and tweaked something again, I would go into the offseason having to go through the whole [rehab] process again." On Tuesday, Wakamatsu said the pain that had spread to Branyan's hip area had subsided, which is a good sign, and the team held out hope for one last go-round. "We'll let him hit a little bit," Wakamatsu said. "With the lack of time and him not able to take ground balls yet, [we'll see] maybe the last day or two if he'll get an at-bat or not." http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/556414 556414 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 0:00:53 EDT mlb.com 52 days 10 hours 54 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/556414 Russell Branyan has been activated from the 15-day DL following his lengthy bout with a herniated disk, according to the Associated Press.

Our View: Branyan has not played since August 29, and skipper Don Wakamatsu would like to get him a few at-bats over the final couple of games of the season. He set a career-high with 31 homers before being taken down by his injury. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/556328 556328 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:20:02 EDT fanball.com 52 days 11 hours 35 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Russell_Branyan/556328 Doug Miller, of MLB.com, reports Seattle Mariners 1B Russell Branyan (back) has been taking practice in hopes that he can receive a few at-bats before the end of the year.
