Ichiro headed to the Yankees

Found July 23, 2012 on NorthWest Sports Beat: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ichiro Suzuki
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners,  New York Yankees

Did you see this one coming?

The headline: The Seattle Mariners have dealt their longest tenured MLB veteran and every day right fielder Ichiro to the Bronx Bombers.

Word has just come down that long time future MLB Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki has been dealt to the New York Yankees.

The strangest twist of this story is the fact that he’ll play right field tonight at Safeco Field for the NY Yankees and NOT the Seattle Mariners.

Per Jack Curry YES twitter account.

Ichiro Made Concessions To Join Yankees

From Wallace Matthews:Ichiro Suzuki apparently wanted the New York Yankees even more than the Yankees wanted him. Before completing a trade to acquire the Japanese star, the Yankees spelled out a list of conditions to Ichiro, a former American League MVP and two-time batting champion.

Ichiro Suzuki: Professional Hitter

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...

Ichiro Suzuki, a Yankee

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...

Today the Yankees begin a series with the Mariners, so whether 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. But the first few months of the season seemed to prove common sense wrong. The Tigers started...

Yankees Trade for Ichiro in Deal that would have been a Huge Story 4 Years Ago

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. This easily ranks as the biggest block buster trade of 2012, in that Ichiro has spent his entire career in Seattle and it will be hard for Mariners...

Only in American baseball can a guy walk across the other side of the field and into the dugout that belonged to opponents moments earlier and call it home.

And if it was going to happen it would be okay; we would all...
