PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Seattle Mariners are bringing back Ichiro Suzuki.
Seattle finalized a one-year deal with the 44-year-old Japanese star Wednesday after several outfielders got hurt. Suzuki underwent a physical in Seattle on Monday.
"The addition of Ichiro gives our team another versatile and athletic outfielder," Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. "His incredible work ethic, preparation and focus will enhance our environment in many ways.
"He's truly one of the great players in the history of the game and his unquestionable presence is a valuable addition, both on the field and in the clubhouse.
