Ken Griffey Jr.'s return to the Seattle Mariners appears to be imminent, the Seattle Times reports.
Several news outlets are reporting that talks between Griffey and the Mariners have heated up in the wake of Bobby Abreu's signing with the Angels. Griffey's agent said earlier this week that the veteran was essentially a fallback option for several teams and that once contracts for other outfielders started falling into place his client would be signed.
Griffey and the Mariners appear to be working on a one-year deal that could be announced next week, pending a physical exam. Griffey had surgery on his left knee in October.
Griffey, who is 39, hit .249 last season playing for the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds. He scored 67 runs and had 18 home runs.
When all else fails, go for the PR Stunt
