Free-agent outfielder Mike Felder and the Seattle Mariners agreed to a $1.7-million, two-year contract.

Felder, 30, batted a personal-best .286 for the San Francisco Giants last season with four homers, 23 runs batted in and 14 stolen bases in 18 attempts. He made $650,000 last season and will make $850,000 in each of the next two seasons.

Mariner Manager Lou Piniella said Felder would lead off and play left field.
