With little time to post.
But I did wish to note this interesting development:
The New York Yankees acquired Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners on Monday in a trade that sent the Japanese star from a last-place team to a World Series contender.
The Yankees also got cash considerations from the Mariners, who received pitching prospectsD.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar.
The teams announced the deal hours before their three-game series opener in Seattle. Moving from one clubhouse to another, Ichiro started in right field in place of the injured Nick Swisher and batted eighth for New York on Monday night. It was the first time Ichiro, who had spent his entire major league career with the Mariners, started a game batting anywhere other than the top three spots in the lineup
Two dozen teams in baseball-and Ichiro has to go the evil empire?
