Nothing new on the Griffey front


Posted at 6:34 pm by By Kirby Arnold

It's 6:30 on Monday night, and Ken Griffey Jr. still isn't a Seattle Mariner for 2010. Then again, he isn't a free agent, either.

To me, that's the most telling aspect of the will-he-or-won't-he situation concerning Griffey's status on next year's Mariners.

Of the Mariners' potential free agents at the end of the season, only Griffey hasn't filed for free agency and it doesn't seem like he will anytime soon as discussions with the Mariners continue on a contract for 2010 (first baseman Russell Branyan, who wants to return and was told last month that the team was working on a proposal, filed for free agency today).

There are arguments either way on whether the Mariners will be better next year with or without Griffey. From every indication I've gotten, it's not a matter of if he'll re-sign, but when it'll get done.
