Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
This blog post infers “addition by subtraction” with regard to the Ichiro trade...

I don’t have any inside info to know if there is any truth to the notion but, even some reporters (who actually know what it’s like in the clubhouse) have a similar opinion - like this one, who is a bit more direct...

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
7-2 may have as much to do with playing a a free falling KC club and a slumping Blue Jay squad as it does with addition by subtraction wrt to Ichiro.
Though it was pretty clear Ichiro was not thrilled with perenial last place finishes the past few years so maybe he wasn't exactly givining it his all this year.Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Have the Mariners actually reached out to the Red Sox for guidance on how to treat a former beloved superstar or are they doing this on their own?

Again, I'm not saying that the M's recent success has any direct correlation but, the two articles I linked are far from the minority opinion in Seattle that Ichiro has always been about himself and his numbers more than about team success...

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
In regards to departed players:
Mariner fans & press = Red Sox fans & press.
I'm not disputing their claims, but M's fans and press were silent or argumentative to the extreme when those issues concerning Ichiro were pointed out while he was with the team.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Seattle fans and media had questioned Ichiro's value to the team for at least two years ...
... and yet showed Ichiro the respect he deserved in his first at-bat as a Yankee at Safeco Field.
Mariner fans generally revere the team's former stars with the exception of Alex Rodriguez (whom I like more than most Seattle fans do).

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
OT, but can anyone explain to me why the fans in Oakland booed Eric Chavez?

Ichiro has been solid since we acquired him.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Well...................he had one of the Yankees two hits today...................and is rolling along, a tidy little hitting streak.
Has gotten on base in every game he has played for the Yankees. Nice.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
I suppose it depends on what you're looking for. .256/.273/.349 since joining the Yankees.

Re: Yankees acquire Ichiro from Mariners
Yeah. I'm still loving this trade. And, if he heats up more, we can sign him to a one year deal so Swish can walk.
Thank you for making me calm today, Brett Gardner
