The Yankees also save the travel costs to have him meet up with the team.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Why would the Mariners want DJ Mitchell? Don't they need some hitting prospects at this point?

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Numark, it's legit. The Mariners think he is on the decline and didn't want to pay him his salary the next three years. Love the move by the Yankees!

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Ichiro waived his 10 and 5 rights and asked to be dealt to the Yankees? Also, tell me Cashman sent Pineda back for Noesi and Montero?

Jack Curry @JackCurryYES
Very interesting strike by Cashman to bring Ichiro to NY. Adds the outfield depth the Yanks were seeking and at modest price.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
He had an 86 OPS+ last year and an 83 OPS+ this year. Yikes. He has 3 years left on his contract?

He'll hit 15 HRs in Yankee Stadium this season.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Aside from the shocking news, he's pretty much crap these days and has been for a couple of years. Still, someone we can use this year...and for nothing.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
The cost was ridiculously minimal. I love the trade for that alone.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
I wonder how much of his salary the Nintendo's picked up?

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Little give up but most likely little gained. Maybe we get lucky, I dunno.
Seattle is also pitching in some cash I heard so that's that.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
He's league average against righties, garbage against lefties, but still has plus defense and speed. Originally Posted by ArodEra

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
My concern is if Cashman considers him a replacement for Swisher in 2013.
e. Nevermind. Ichiro's a FA after this year

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Picking up the tail end of a big contract for a guy who looks like he's on the way out. Someone convince why I should like this move?

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Cashman strikes again. Now we need an Inchiro resurgence

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Ichiro is seriously declining but I still cant fault this trade.

I love baseball in general and the Yankees just happen to be my favorite team since I knew what baseball was.
