| | SEATTLE -- Mike Cameron, acquired by the Seattle Mariners in
the Ken Griffey Jr. trade last week, agreed Monday to a one-year
contract worth $2,225,000 -- seven times his $295,000 salary for
Cincinnati last year.

Cameron, 27, hit .256 last season with 21 homers and 66 RBIs. He was traded along with pitcher Brett Tomko and a pair of minor leaguers last Thursday for Griffey, who agreed to a $116.5 million, nine-year contract with the Reds.
Cameron had asked the Reds for $2.5 million last month and had
been offered $1.95 million. The Mariners inherited both figures,
and the sides settled at the midpoint. Mariners pitchers and catchers report next Thursday to Peoria, Ariz., for the start of spring training. | |
