Ken Griffey, who made major league baseball history by playing on the same team with his son last season, signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Mariners.
Griffey, 40, will receive about $700,000 in base salary plus games-played incentives that could boost his salary to nearly $1 million, according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer.
