Just Retire!

If you haven't heard, Ken Griffey Jr. has signed back with the Seattle Mariners, the team he came into the league with as a 19 year-old kid in 1989. Here's my question: WHY??? At 39 years of age and after 20 years in the majors, what is the point of not going to a contender?? We know the White Sox didn't want him back, but there had to be at least one other contender out there that would be interested in having him on their roster. Somebody! But at this point in his career, what is going back to the 61-101 Mariners gonna do for him?? Only the Washington Nationals did worse than Seattle last season.

Bottom line, if you can't get with a contender then just retire!

maybe he is going to retire. Makes sense to join with the first team you signed with to end your career there
