SEATTLE (AP) -- The Mariners kept up their offseason makeover on Thursday by finalizing a $5.5 million, one-year contract with free agent outfielder Nori Aoki, a deal that includes a $6 million conditional option for the 2017 season.
Seattle announced completion of the deal after Aoki passed an extensive physical. The sides had agreed on a contract pending the exams, which took place Thursday morning. The physical was closely watched after an injury-filled 2015 season for Aoki in San Francisco.
He was limited to 93 games due to a broken right leg and a severe concussion in the second half of last season.
