The Yankees have acquired Ichiro Suzuki for RHPs DJ Mitchell and Danny Fahrquar, a source said. Yanks also get undisclosed cash in deal.

wow

Woah...

Ichiro kinda sucks.

Not even kinda, he does.

Yea, Ichiro isnt good anymore. He's hitting like .262 this year, but at least he has now a great opportunity to make the playoffs.

 

[Mexi]

yeah he's been pretty bad now
but he'll be rejuvenated and be hitting bombs in the bronx

Ichiro kinda sucks.

Not even kinda, he does.

Well, DJ Mitchell was the centerpiece of this deal....

 

[Mexi]

honestly, they didnt have to ship more for a Victorino or Span

Ichiro's road splits were so much better than his home splits. still bad, but better than his overall numbers

they WILL be better in NY

 

[elcheato]

I'm not saying the Yankees gave up anything notable lol.

Makes for a nice story though.

 

[cruzg24]

I love how the media always emphasized the fact that if Ichiro really wanted to he could be a HR hitter and hit 40 HRs per year lol.

 

[VC15]

It'll be awkward if Ichiro makes his debut tonight, as the Yankees are starting a series at Seattle.

 

[Mexi]

badass story. i freaking love this
AND his first AB will be IN SEATTLE?! geez

and i know FPS. i love that "legend" of Ichiro
he's going to be in mash mode in NY. i predict he hits double digit bombs

NeverForget

btw, i dont think Ichiro has ever been clean shaven in the bigs
i hope the Yanks dont make him trip the side burns

he's always had scruff

 

[elcheato]

The Yankees would make Jesus Christ cut his hair if they orchestrated a deal for him.

The New York Yankees have acquired 10-time All-Star Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners for a pair of minor-league pitchers.

The Mariners confirmed the deal, which first was reported by the YES Network, on their official Twitter page.

Ichiro, 38, has spent his entire 12-year career with the Mariners.

This was already posted in the MLB General Discussion thread.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Pretty sure this deserves its own topic...

 

[cruzg24]

Nah, Ichiro isnt that good anymore lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You made a topic about Chase Budinger getting traded....
