Mariners' Gordon Beckham: Re-signed to minor-league deal by Mariners

Beckham has signed a minor-league contract to return to the Mariners, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports Monday.

Beckham was released by the Mariners last week, but has opted not to test the free-agent market and instead will remain in the organization. The 31-year-old mustered just a .262/.313/.393 slash line for Triple-A Tacoma last year and will serve as veteran organizational depth capable of playing multiple infield positions.
