The hot stove rumor is that Junior could be headed back to where it all started. The Seattle Mariners are reportedly interested in signing the free agent.
The Mariners have mulled a Griffey signing all winter, but have pursued other options for offensive help. However, when free agent Bobby Abreu reached agreement with the Angels earlier this week, the Mariners reportedly began moving seriously toward reacquiring Griffey, considered the greatest player in club history.
Forget the greatest player in franchise history, when he left Seattle Griffey was primed to become the greatest player in Major League history.
Worst day in MLB history was the day Griffey was shipped out to Cincy. Yes, even worse than when A-Rod was outed. By the way, how convinced are you that Griffey might not be so squeeky clean after all… I’m already having my doubts. I guess that’s the realm of thought that we have to use when thinking about baseball now.
