Ack Attack returns? Mariners signing Dustin Ackley to minor league deal, pending physical

The first time Dustin Ackley wore a Seattle Mariners uniform during a game, he was playing second base in his major league debut in 2011 after he was drafted No. 2 overall two years earlier.

The last time Ackley was in a Mariners uniform, he was in left field in 2015 a day before he was traded to the Yankees for two prospects who would combine to appear in five games for the Mariners.

The 30-year-old might get another chance with his former club.

The Ack Attack never lived up to the expectations after he rocketed through the Mariners’ minor leagues after raking at the University of North Carolina.
