Ken Griffey Jr. decided Wednesday he was taking the Mariners’ one-year contract worth about $2 million, plus incentives, to be their designated hitter.
Yesterday, the Seattle Times reported Ken Griffey Jr. has signed with the Braves for one year, $2-3 million.
And the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said, “The details have already been worked out, though the agent will meet with GM Fran Wren once more this afternoon. Don’t know about the physical yet, if they’re doing it today or what.
No announcement is expected from the team until Wednesday (in part because of the A-Rod circus over in Tampa, but also because a Griffey decision probably won’t come until late afternoon, too late to call a press conference).”
