Do you think that Ichiro will stay with the Mariners? Do you think that Griffey will come back to the Mariners?
Would Griffey play Center or DH?

It is looking more likely that Ichiro will stay with Seattle. The source I listed is called "Ichiro to stay a Mariner," though the contract (through 2012) is not actually signed yet.
As for Griffey, I think he will want to stay on the Reds, as he chose them years ago over other teams. However, he was given a warm welcome in his return to Seattle during interleague play and he seemed like he missed the organization. I would still think he'd stay with the Reds, but if he did go to another team, I bet it would be the Mariners because of his history with the team. The fact that he could be a DH in later years (he didn't even want to be moved from center field this year, I think, so he's probably not worried about being a DH yet) and the fact that Seattle is fielding a good team now could be a factor. Other teams are contenders, but I think Griffey would go back to his old team if he went anywhere... But I think he'll stay in Cincinnati.

Ichiro is signing a 5 year extension with Seattle.
If Griffey decides there is a team he wants to go to and the Reds will make the deal, then he will leave, if not, he'll stay. He has a no trade clause and he's a 10 & 5 player so he doesnt have to go anywhere.

Ichrio is staying w/ the Mariners for the next 5 years. And as far as Griffey goes, I have a feeling he will be traded. It's just a matter of what team wants him.

Seattle is working out a five year $100 million deal to keep Ichiro in Seattle. It will be Griffey's call to stay with Cincinnati or agree to a trade. The only thing he might want to do is go to a contender so he would have a chance to get to the world series before he retires, but I see him ending his career in Cincinnati.

they already explained reach Ichiro, but I heard they are trading Griffey, it's just a matter to who.
Cleveland was on of the teams that was rumored to be interested in getting Griffey.
