The Kid's Back!

In recent days, the Seattle Mariners have re-acquired on of the most famous names to wear a Mariner's uniform. The acquisition of Ken Griffey Jr. to Seattle has to be one of the most profitable moves the organization has made in recent years. Depending on his overall performance it may not bring the M's the wins they so desperately need on the field. He is getting up there in age and has struggled to stay healthy in recent years. However, the Mariners will sell more game tickets and apparel with Griffey is on the team. More profit will allow the club to acquire better players and hopefully produce a winning ball club. It was a very good marketing move by the Mariners marketing staff. They will now be able to market the Griffey brand alongside the Mariner's organization.
