A report from FOX Sports' Jon Morosi late Monday night indicated that Seattle Mariners outfielder Austin Jackson has cleared waivers and is generating some interest:

#Mariners OF Austin Jackson, who cleared trade waivers, has been the subject of trade talks recently, sources say. @FOXSports

So far in 2015, Jackson is hitting .259/.302/.364 with 15 stolen bases and 17 doubles in just under 400 plate appearances.

Surely a handful of contending teams would be interested in the services of the defensively reliable Jackson, who could provide a spark on both sides of the field if a trade is made.
