Ken Griffey Jr. is arguably one of the most recognizable names in baseball. From his early Super Nintendo video games to the moment when he and his father hit back to back homeruns while on the Mariners he has been popular. Sodo Mojo, anyone? I grew up in Seattle routing him on before he left to the Reds. He did well there but was not a national icon as he had become on the Mariners until making major league baseball news when he broke the 600-homerun mark, steroid free. In his older age, it is time for him to think about where he wants to end his career.
There are two choices on the table that seem to more than MLB rumors and that is leaving to the Tampa Bay or back to Seattle. Obviously, I would like to see him go back to the struggling Mariners. He has been quoted saying that he is “monitoring” the Rays but nothing has been made certain. MLB rumors will continue to fly about his future until the trading deadline. He now calls Tampa Bay his home so if they can show quality this is where he will end.
