Wasted his career playing in Assco.
I think we're done with Japan for a while.

My reaction to the Ichiro trade:
1. Holy shit.
2. The Yankees need money?

Is this even an upgrade? What say you, council?

Actually ... 2nd thought.
This makes me sad.
it's just pointless. If they got something good, even half decent prospects out of it I could understand, but Ichiro at this point won't get you better than the 2 halfass relievers they got. And it's not like he was blocking some up and coming stud from the minors. All this does is put Carp in the OF and keeps Smoak's shitty ass on the team.

WAT. I thought he'd die at SafeCo.
They got two non-prospects and they're sending cash with Ichiro? Terrible.

I have learned that the #Yankees will pay just more than $2M of what is left on Ichiro's salary
Man the Mariners couldn't wait to ship him out of town.
Of course they'll take the ticket proceeds from the upcoming series which will be so god damn insane.

Can't wait for Ichiro to make his first start against the M's tonight guys!

As much as it pains Mariners fans I think Seattle did the right thing by trading him to a contender. Ichiro deserves another go at trying to win a WS.
Agree to this trade ahole. Want to start stacking prospects.
Oh my goodness. I'm dying. Send help.

I hope Ichiro gets a ring. Glad to have you for 12 years.

Ichiro playing for the bad guys? Who would have thunk it
Ichiro asked to be traded.
John Boyle ‏@johnpboyle
In release from the #Mariners, CEO Howard Lincoln says Ichiro came to the team “several weeks ago” asking about a trade.
He is retiring after this season. No doubt.
“Several weeks ago, Ichiro Suzuki, through his long time agent, Tony Attanasio, approached Chuck Armstrong and me to ask that the Mariners consider trading him. Ichiro knows that the club is building for the future, and he felt that what was best for the team was to be traded to another club and give our younger players an opportunity to develop. "

Ichiro will be giving a chance to win as a hitter. Then, he will begin his pitching career.

I agree, I just wish they would have done it in his prime when it has been clear the M's haven't been contending for shit for the last 5 years. Had they done it then, they could have really given Ichiro the chance to star on the national stage, and they might have gotten something decent in return. Instead they'll get 2 shitty prospects and Ichiro will ride the pine for the Yankees and pinch hit every once in a while in October.
How does this make you feel?

Sad for Ichiro. He should have done it sooner. And that the same shit will happen with Felix.

Sumbody created a thread in the OT about the Ichiro trade. Man is popular.
I already said.
Feels bad cause he was a face of the franchise and I wish they traded him when he was worth something ....
But I certainly won't miss the current version of him at the plate.

Wow, this came out of nowhere. We'll miss you Ichi. Hope he does well in NY.

As a M's fan, don't mind it all. We sucked for so long..... I wouldn't have a problem with him if he asked 3-4 years ago. Always been a professional that brought 100% to the table each and every day.
