PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Mariners are reaching into their past to bring back one of their franchise greats, as a source has confirmed to MLB.com that Ichiro Suzuki will return to his former team if he passes a physical on Monday afternoon in Seattle.
The deal would be a Major League contract, according to ESPN.com, which means the Mariners would have to make a move to open a spot on their 40-man roster. The Mariners have not confirmed the reports.
The Mariners are looking to bolster their outfield depth with three of their top four outfielders currently dealing with injury issues.
