Mariners nearing deadline to sign Dustin Ackley

The Mariners are in the final stages of contract negotiations with highly-regarded -- and highly-drafted -- outfielder Dustin Ackley. The left-handed hitter from UNC has until midnight on Monday to reach agreement with the Mariners or he can either return to the Tar Heels for his senior season and become Draft-eligible again next year, sit out a year and become Draft-eligible again next year, or possibly play for an Independent League team.
