It's all but official: Griffey is returning in 2010

Posted at 9:18 am by By Kirby Arnold

Ken Griffey Jr., the life of the Mariners' party in the 2009 season, will return to the team in 2010 to at least fill that role. The Mariners and Griffey have reached an agrreement on a deal to bring him back another season. The club won't confirm or deny it, although an announcement is expected within the hour.

Griffey made it clear to the club during the final weekend of the season that he wanted to return, and that playing time -- which could be cut significantly depending on how the team is constructed -- wouldn't be an issue in his desire to remain part of the club.
