Seattle Times
| Comments
The Mariners were already shorthanded heading into today, missing Ken Griffey Jr., Ichiro and Adrian Beltre. Now, they won't have Russell Branyan back for the rest of this homestand. That appears to be the gist of things after Branyan had an MRI done on his sore back, which has...

M’s Take 3 Of 4 From Tribe
I only got to see the last couple innings of this game (I don’t like waking up at 10 during the Summer), but I’ll do my best to recap. The Mariners got ahead early on a Russell Branyan two run bomb and a Franklin Gutierrez RBI single.
It was nice to see Branyan hit one out, [...]

The Mariners signed former Brewers utility man Russell Branyan to a one year deal worth 1.4 million dollars, according to FOXSports.com. Branyan hit .250 with 12 HR in 132 at-bats this season, so he will make for a good go-to guy off the bench for the Mariners. The Mariners are also...

Jon Heyman reports that Ken Griffey, Jr. will return to Seattle for 2010, with a $2M plus incentives contract for one year. Hat tip to David Pinto, who rightly reckons this a mistake for a replacement-level player.

Lost in all the Felix Hernandez angst, with Jack Zduriencik saying he had yet to open discussions on a long-term deal with the pitcher, is the fact the Mariners (in the same story link) have indicated they want to bring back first baseman Russell Branyan for the 2010 season. At...

Mariners first baseman Russell Branyan's trade value has never been higher. Branyan, who is a career .234 hitter, is hitting .305 with 10 home runs and a .379 on-base percentage. Branyan's 1.4 million dollar contract makes him much more desirable to a team like the Mets, who...
