The Mariners and Ryan Garko agreed on a one-year, $550K
deal, according to Gregg Bell of the AP. Garko can earn
another $525K in plate appearance incentives.
Mariners assistant GM Jeff Kingston recently spoke about
targeting a right-handed hitter who can crush left-handed
pitching while playing at first base or DH. Garko, 29,
fits the bill given his .311/.391/.491 line against
southpaws over the past three seasons. Garko was
non-tendered by the Giants after the season. The Mariners
can retain him for 2011 and 2012 as an arbitration-eligible
player if they choose.
