Ken Griffey, who made major league baseball history by playing on the same team with his son last season, signed a one-year contract with the Seattle Mariners.

Griffey, 40, will receive about $700,000 in base salary plus games-played incentives that could boost his salary to nearly $1 million, according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

The newspaper also said that Ken Griffey Jr., who started in center field for the American League in last summer’s All-Star game, probably will be paid double his 1990 salary of $210,000. Those negotiations have not begun.
