Kenji Chronicles

Via Lookout Landing, the Seattle Times is reporting Kenji Johjima is going to be a Mariner. This deal isn't final yet so stay tuned.

Johjima's team in Japan, Fukuoka Soft-Bank Hawks, reportedly had offered him a one-year deal of $10 million to stay.

He will make his decision public on Tuesday in Japan. At Fukuoka's breakup meeting before the offseason, a tradition for Japanese teams, Johjima will tell Hawks' manager Sadahura Oh that he will play in this country.

He would join J.J. Trujillo as the only players with three Js in their baseball names.
