Well, he isn’t fifty years old yet. But the ageless wonder will at the very least be turning 43 in a Marlins uniform. Ichiro Suzuki has been officially extended through the 2017 season, with the Miami Marlins announcing the picking up of that $2 million club option of theirs Wednesday morning.
The extension through 2017 should come as no surprise by any measure.
Baseball wise, he was just straight up good last year in his role. Not for a geriatric. Not for a pinch hitter. Not even just for a fourth outfielder.
