as a diehard Mariners fan, it's a shame to see this team run into the ground. ownership and front office management have been pathetic. heck, Yamauchi hasn't even been to a game.

With Griffey there, sales should at least pick up. He is not a bad pick up himself. Being a DH will be good and if someone is hurt, he can still play outfield. He is a plus no matter what...just wish they would make some better decisions in the office...

The team lost 100 games. They were out of the pennant race by June 1st. Rumors are that their best player is not popular with the other players and they lose $4.5 million. That is the salary of a reserve outfielder in MLB. I would say they had a good financial year. Ichiro is old. Need to trade him.

It's pretty small loss considering valuable assets like Ichiro, Johjima...

How is Johjima such a valuable asset, some14some?
The guy had a marked dropoff in his production over the first 3 years of his MLB career, culminating in a pathetic .227 with a paltry 7 HRs and 39 RBIs in 2008. His defense is getting better either, and the Mariners are on the hook for a 3-year contract starting this year at $8 milion per annum.
The Mariners will long rue the day early last season that they gave the new contract to Johjima-just as so many Mariners' teammates will eventually want to strangle the egomaniac, Ichiro Suzuki.
