    Ichiro to Yanks

    For two minor league dead arms. Unreal

    Might have been important 10 years ago...Ichiro is done. He's a shell of his former self. Just a big name now. He's basically worth 2 minor leaguers now. But who knows, sometimes a change of scenery does stuff for a player.

    God Damn! I wish the M's would have dealt him while he was still peaking...now, it's kinda an eh deal. What most people don't know is that Ichiro was a thorn in Lou's side, as well as Boone, and some of the other M's from back in the day. Supposedly, and I still think you can see it, but Ichiro does little to add to the synergy of a team.

    If he plays like the old Ichiro the Yankees definitely will make serious noise

    Who gives a fuk?

    There is not anyone on the mariners roster worth trading for except Hernandez. That's it. Unless you are getting him, you have acquire a non-impact player.

    Congrats Yanks on succeeding where the Knicks failed... cornering the Japanese/Asian market.

    ^^^Thanks Mikeyanks23.

    For the Japanese, there are certain American iconic brands that are significant. The New York Yankees, IMO, is one of those brands. The change in uniform just might give the guy a second wind.

    he'll platoon and do better...

    hits righties ok still and sucks vs lefties

    the extra day or two off and early game exits may help him rejuvenate too

    on days he is off he can be a pinch hitter/runner and defensive replac,ement...


    Ichiro may just go back to Seattle in the off season anyways...

    perfectly said

    Prob be back in seattle but i like it for a 2nd half rental. Cant hurt them. Hes still better than ibanez. And as archie said getting a day or 2 off a week will really help his legs.

    if nothing else Ichiro is a great fielder with a cannon arm... I dont think anyone is foolish enough to think this is 2003 Ichiro, but its still cool to hear such a big name get traded, totally unexpectedly, and to the Yankees of all teams.

    Many believe Ichiro retires after this season. Would nice to see him get a championship first.

    The Fan is hardly a Yankee radio station. They broadcast Mets games. Aside from Francesa all those guys are Mets fans.

    Harold Reynolds reporting on MLB network, Ichiro will lead off (no tonight) but going forward.
    Jeter will drop to the two hole.

    Sweeny Murte, and fat Mike, that's about it.
    Steve Somers is Mets (and Giants), Coleman is Mets, Beningo is Mets.............
    Correct, 90 percent of that station is Met biased.

    wait the one the yankee games are on. 880. on the am dial.

    i dunno how much of a met station it is. More a New York sports station. Didnt the mets have a ban on their players from going on the station for awhile. or was it just a certain show? it doesnt come in great in my work vans so i rarely listen anymore

    Its almost all Mets fans that broadcast. Boomer & Carton (not so much Boomer i dont think), joe & Evan, Somers.. I think Mark Mellusis is a yankees fan however.

    Idk if its Mets players, you might be thinking Jets players going on with Francesa. Never happens, Francesa is such a Jets hater its hilarious. If you didnt hear it youtube Revis with Francesa.. gold

    Not really. Ichiro is a 38 year old FA making $17M and clearly on the downspin in his career. He's not responsible for the M's success or lack there of anymore. Smart move for M's I think, deal him for 2 pitching prospects and they still could resign Ichiro next season, this is surely just a rental for the Yanks. THey wont need him when Gardner comes back next season.

    Plus, Ichiro could very well retire after this year

    Yanks are set for the rest of the regular season. Now the only question is do they get shut down by hot pitchers in the 1st round of the playoffs

    Am I in some parallel universe where Ichiro is still good?

    I've never seen so much attention for a guy with a sub .700 OPS... and it isn't even close ... down around .640 currently. Guy has rumored to be a cancerous teammate and hits like Jack Wilson.

    Lmao, Ichrio.

    The dude is fukkken DONE. Yankees fans will be happy for about 2 days since such a huge name is coming over. But they will soon realize this guy is trash and is 38 and can't hit for anything besides bloop singles. When all your hits come from weak ass blooop flies and you're hitting .261, sh1t is going to hit the fan, espcially in the big apple.
