(Photo credit: Wikipedia) The New York Yankees strengthened their AL East Division-leading line-up on July 23 by trading for Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners. The 38-year-old Japanese star was acquired for Danny Farquhar and D.J. Mitchell, two minor league pitchers who are scheduled to report to triple-A team Tacoma. Howard Lincoln, the CEO of the Mariners, thanked Ichiro on behalf of the entire organization for the 12 fantastic years he spent with the club. Suzuki asked the Mariners for a trade about two weeks prior since he felt it was better for the rebuilding club to develop younger players and it would open up some playing time for a prospect.

Ichiro Suzuki has done one thing better than anyone since entering the majors in 2001, hit. He joined the Mariners after a very good professional career in Japan. He was 27 and in the prime of his career. His first season saw him lead the Mariners to 116 wins (tied for most regular season wins). He was the first Japanese player to become an everyday player in the bigs and experts...

As a long time Seattle Mariners fan and a person with distaste for the New York Yankees, I can sum up last night’s trade in two words.  It stinks.  The face of the franchise, Ichiro Suzuki, and cash was sent to the New York Yankees for two prospects.  I know that Ichiro is nearing the end of his career, and it became unclear if he was going to continue with the Mariners, since...

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. But the first few months of the season seemed to prove common sense wrong. The Tigers started...

The New York Yankees traded two pitching prospects for an outfielder hitting below the league average in Ichiro Suzuki. Ichiro is in the final year of his contract worth $90 million, and asked to be traded. The Yankees took the bait.
