Griffey wants one more year in Seattle
ByAccording to the Seattle Times (via The Sporting News), Ken Griffey Jr. wants to play one more season with the Mariners. 2 of Griffey’s teammates have already filed for free agency: Adrian Beltre and Mike Sweeney. Look for Russell Branyan, Erik Bedard, Endy Chavez and Miguel Batista to formally announce their free agency soon.
Griffey should expect another 1 year, approximately $2 million contract that is incentive based on roster bonuses (such as being on the roster until the end of the season), escalator bonuses (such as getting x-number of at bats or playing in x-number of games) and attendance bonuses since he’s a big draw for the Seattle faithful.
