Ichiro Suzuki, Anibal Sanchez Trades Have Yankees, Tigers Rendering American League Wild Card Race Pointless

Found July 24, 2012 on NESN.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ichiro Suzuki,  Anibal Sanchez
TEAMS: New York Yankees,  Miami Marlins
Ichiro
When spring began, and MLB fans and predictors were making their choices for who would rule the year, the Yankees and Tigers were foregone conclusions. New York would get some kind of playoff spot out of the American League East, and Detroit would win the American League Central running away.

When Ichiro Suzuki was traded to the Yankees on Monday, many around the entire baseball world scratched their heads. Not because Ichiro is going to turn the tide in the pennant race, however, but just because after everything he meant to the Mariners, nobody knew that the team was willing to trade him, nevermind that he would request the trade himself.

Marlins infielder Omar Infante, who played for the Tigers from 2002-07, is returning to Comerica Park, and he's bringing starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez with him. In return, Detroit is giving up their top...

Impact: Ichiro in the Bronx

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  July 23, 2012
Apparently, the Yankees and Mariners both have ninjas for GMs, because the trade of Ichiro Suzuki to New York seemed to come out of nowhere. Ichiro still has a big name and a grand track record, but is he anything more than a defensive whiz at this point and can his move from spacious Safeco to the short porch in Yankee Stadium help his fantasy value? Ichiro has done next to nothing...

Sure, Ichiro, Anibal Sanchez, Omar Infante, and (possibly) Ryan Dempster found new homes, but players just aren’t moving like you’d hope they would. This promotes boredom among fantasy baseball owners. We need the drama of the trading deadline. There...

Turner a High Price to Pay for Tigers

Via sbb.scout.com  |  July 25, 2012
There were a lot of moving parts to the deal that sent Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to Detroit this week. The most significant part of that deal, however, may be the inclusion of righty pitching prospect, Jacob Turner. It's that part of the deal that's the biggest gamble for Detroit, even though their acquisitions clearly make them a far better team in 2012.
