Ken Griffey Jr.: Re-Signs With Mariners

Update: The Mariners have agreed to a one-year contract with Griffey Jr., the team’s official website reports.

Recommendation: Griffey Jr. will be returning for his 22nd major league season. Terms of the deal were not announced, but it’s likely that the contract will be similar to the incentive-based deal he had with the Mariners last season. Griffey Jr.’s role with the team is still uncertain, but it’s a good bet that he’ll split his playing time between left field and designated hitter.
