Mariners do the right thing for Ichiro and their own club by dealing him to the Yankees..Yanks just got better and Ichiro should play better


Yankees Acquire Ichiro Suzuki

By Steve Adams [July 23, 2012 at 5:08pm CST]
The Yankees have acquired Ichiro Suzuki and cash considerations from the Mariners in exchange right-handers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar, according to Jack Curry of the YES Network

[Darkside Magick]

Line may go crazy now....

[Br0nxer]

surprised ichiro agreed to come to yanks

heard he only wanted to be traded to west coast team

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Yep, here's what rotoworld said


Jack Curry of YES Network reports that the Yankees have acquired Ichiro Suzuki from the Mariners for right-handers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Fahrquar.

The Yankees are also expected to get an undisclosed amount of cash in the deal. The deal comes as quite a surprise, as Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said as recently as last week that he expected the impending free agent to return next season. The 38-year-old will wrap up his tenure in Seattle with a .322 batting average and 2,533 hits over 12 seasons. He's hitting just .261/.288/.353 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 15 stolen bases and a .642 OPS through 95 games in 2012.

Jeter
Arod
Grandy
Cano
Swisher
Tex
Ibanez
Martin

[freeVICK]

jeter leads off

[muldoon]

Yanks happen to be in Seattle. Try on the new uni against your old team on day 1.

[Darkside Magick]

I would bat him 9th

[YorkHunt]

When does Gardener come back?

[Br0nxer]

When does Gardener come back?

probably doesn't this yr

he had a setback a few weeks ago

assuming reason they made the trade

[boeing power]

He's 38 and batting .261

Doesnt make yanks any better

[HoulihansTX]

I like how Ichiro is all of a sudden a better player now that he plays for the Yanks. Guy made a living off infield singles, where losing a step kills your avg. Now he is 38, and turning into a power hitter is not an option.

[Br0nxer]

might be rejuvenated a little

better team

definitely not the ichiro of 5 years ago.

[MoneyLineDawg]

He still helps the team a lot now that Gardner is out for the year....Also much better having Ichiro out in the field than their other options

[Bcatswin]

Well wouldn't you think he would see a lot more hittable pitches with better hitters around him?

[freeVICK]

ichiro's offensive skills arent what they used to be, but he still plays great D with a rocket for an arm

[hydrosmak]

Old Hoss Radbourn <s style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(187, 187, 187); ">@</s>OldHossRadbourn
Well, this trade makes J. Sterling's "An A-bomb from A-Rod" just that much more gauche.

[stevenash]

When does Gardener come back?

Next year, he's shut down.

[freeVICK]

average age of the yankees? what is it now like 65???

[therushishere]

Ichiro out of the lineup tonight in Seattle=good for Yankees?
