Ken Griffey Jr. will be inducted into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame as its seventh member. The Mariners announced the induction Tuesday. Griffey's ceremony will take place Aug. 10 before the Mariners face the Milwaukee Brewers. Griffey spent 13 of his 22 seasons in the majors with the Mariners. He was drafted by Seattle in 1987, made his debut at the major league level two years later and went on to have one of the finest careers in baseball history. Griffey finished with 630 home runs - sixth all-time - and was a 13-time All-Star and the 1997 American League MVP. After time in Cincinnati and Chicago, Griffey returned to Seattle in 2009-10, his final game coming on June, 2, 2010. Griffey has spent the past two seasons as a special consultant to the franchise.

Mariners happy with their offseason additions

Via AP on Fox  |  January 23, 2013
The Seattle Mariners' offseason focus was on adding bats to the worst offense in baseball. They believe they accomplished their goal with the additions of Kendrys Morales and Michael Morse, and they hope Jason Bay and Raul Ibanez still have some pop left in their bats. The additional benefit is that they added some veterans that manager Eric Wedge and general manager Jack Zduriencik...

Seattle Mariners Offseason Options

Via Oregon Sports News  |  January 23, 2013
The Seattle Mariners and their general manager, Jack Zduriencik, are making leaps and bounds in progress over this 2012-13 offseason.  For starts, the Mariners picked up additional middle infield talent (see: http://t.co/QAJryJH1) in Robert Andino and in the Triple-A portion of the Winter Meetings, we selected 2nd baseman Eric Ferris from the Brewers.

Mariners, Hernandez talk extension

Via Fox Sports  |  January 22, 2013
The next big contract in baseball? It could go to Felix Hernandez. The Seattle Mariners continue to talk to Hernandez about an extension, according to major-league sources. And while no deal is close, the Mariners are at least weighing a four-year, $100 million proposal, sources said. It is not known whether the Mariners actually have made Hernandez such an offer; one source described...

Mariners Prospects: Just Outside the Top-50

Via mariners.scout.com  |  January 21, 2013
Having finished our countdown of the Top-50 prospects in the Seattle Mariners organization, we now give you a look at some more names to know in the minor leagues for the M's. Either because of short track record, injury problems or uninspiring statistical showings, these players didn't make the cut for that list, but they still show enough promise to warrant being on the watch list.

A New Look At Free Agents And Payroll

Via Off The Bench  |  January 23, 2013
Each and every year we see big name free agents sign deals that are absolutely ludicrous and well beyond the player’s actual value. Each and every year we see people lambaste the Yankees for having a roster full of terrible deals and overpriced stars. Each and every year we see a small market team with a small payroll doing much better than a team with a payroll of $100 million...

Funnyball

Via Full Spectrum Baseball  |  January 21, 2013
When Jack Zduriencik completed the deal that landed the Mariners Michael Morse, he was not applauded for his efforts. In fact, the countdown to his dismissal as the Mariner general manager was started or perhaps the clock was just sped up a bit. The Mariners and their lowly offense needed a power bat and Jackie Z went out and got a power bat. But of course that is not the whole...
