Ichiro to sign 5 yr $100 million contract

The club is on the verge of locking up Ichiro, its All-Star outfielder whose contract was set to expire after the season, to a five-year contract extension, The Seattle Times has learned. Indications are the deal will approach $100 million and could be announced Friday. A great move by Seattle if this is in fact going to happen, he's so important to that team not only from an offensive/defensive side but for fans support.
