The Yankees have acquired Ichiro Suzuki for RHPs DJ Mitchell and Danny Fahrquar, a source said. Yanks also get undisclosed cash in deal.

Yankee RL now looking better tonight

[Jeff Grant]

Ichiro is batting .297 on the road this year - will be glad to get away from Safeco Field (.214) after this series

He was a .341 career hitter at the old Yankee Stadium, batting .333 at the current version

They are about 5 years too late.

Looks like Gardner is done for a while so Yanks can use his speed -- if he has any left

[nrok2118]

Whaaaaat, thats crazy...so is he playing for the Yanks tonight?!

[R.P. McMurphy]

Doubt we see him in pinstripes tonight. But I already leaned Yanks and with Ichiro now leaving and the news just dropping I would expect the already bad Mariners to look extra deflated tonight.
