The Yankees and Mariners made it official Monday evening: Ichiro Suzuki is
heading to the Bronx.
The Yankees will send right-handers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar to
Seattle in exchange for Suzuki, the Japanese superstar with 2,533 career
Major League hits in 12 seasons with the Mariners. The deal also includes
cash considerations.
"He's done some great things in the league," said Yankees shortstop Derek
Jeter. "Offense, defense, there's a lot of different ways he can beat you.
He's been as consistent as anyone."
The Yankees and Mariners will play Monday night at Safeco Field, so Suzuki
will simply walk over to the other side of the ballpark and line up against
the only American club for which he's ever played. New manager Joe Girardi
said he would play Ichiro in the corner outfield spots, and the veteran was
slated to hit eighth in his debut.
"I haven't played left for a long time, to be honest with you," Ichiro said.
"But the last time I played left was a playoff game -- my first playoff game
in Yankee Stadium, so it's a very memorable position for me for that reason."
New York has been in need of outfield depth without injured left fielder
Brett Gardner, who will undergo arthroscopic elbow surgery. The Yankees have
primarily used veterans Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones in left field this
season.
"Sometimes you need to create a run, and his defense is going to be
outstanding -- 10 Gold Gloves -- and we're excited about that, as well,"
Girardi said.
Mitchell, 25, has spent most of the season with Triple-A Scranton. He is 6-4
with a 5.04 ERA in 15 games this season at Triple-A. He also made four
appearances in the Majors this season, posting a 3.86 ERA.
Farquhar is also 25 years old. He has spent the 2012 season in the Minor
League systems of three clubs, the Blue Jays, A's and Yankees. He has
combined to go 2-3, with a 3.33 ERA and five saves in 32 games.
