Future Hall of Fame outfielder Ken Griffey, Junior has agreed to return to the team he began his major league career with by signing a one-year contract with the Seattle Mariners for a reported $2 million plus incentives. Griffey is fifth on the all-time list with 611 homers, including 14 last year.
Griffey broke into the majors with Seattle as a 19-year-old in 1989. However, after eleven seasons with the Mariners, Griffey forced his way out of Seattle by demanding a trade to his hometown Cincinnati Reds after the 1999 season. He has since spent nine injury-plagued years with the Reds.
Griffey’s contract includes attendance incentives.
