Nov. 23, 2009 - 7:50 PM ET

Ken Griffey Jr. can make up to $3.9 million in 2010 through his incentive-laden one-year deal with the Mariners.

Griffey, 40, will be given a base salary of $2.35 million and can trigger over $1.5 million in incentives if he tops 400 plate appearances and avoids the disabled list. Junior had no problem reaching that goal this past season (454 plate appearances) and hit .214/.324/.411 with 19 dingers, 19 doubles and 57 RBI along the way.
