Mariners agree with Garko for $550K
Terms of the contract obtained Monday by The Associated Press show the 29-year-old first baseman and designated hitter could nearly double his salary, to $1,075,000, if he becomes a regular for Seattle with 600 plate appearances.
Garko would earn up to an additional $25,000 each for 325, 350 and 375 plate appearances this season. The former Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants player would get $50,000 apiece for 425, 450 and 475 plate appearances, and $100,000 each for 500, 550 and 600 plate appearances.
His career high in plate appearances is 563 with the Indians in 2008, when he hit .273 with 14 homers and a career-best 90 RBIs.
Cleveland traded him to the Giants last July. He had just 12 RBIs in 40 games with San Francisco.
