Kenji Johjima's agent confirmed Monday evening that the Mariners won't have to pay a dime of the $16 million remaining on his client's contract.
In case there were still any doubters out there. "He walks completely on his contract here, and we start fresh,'' the agent, Alan Nero said Monday. "He's made this decision without regard to financial consequence. He's a free agent in Japan, and I'll negotiate the best offer I can." Johjima opted out of his contract with the Mariners in a surprise move Monday afternoon. Source: Seattle Times
