Seattle Mariners reportedly ink Ichiro to Minor League deal
From the news of one Mariner’s Hall of Fame selection to another whose place in Cooperstown is all but sealed.
Per Jon Becker of Roster Resource, Ichiro Suzuki signed a Minor League contract with the Mariners early Tuesday evening. This comes as no surprise, as Seattle general manager Jerry Dipoto has previously stated that Ichiro would likely be a part of the team’s expanded 28-man roster when they open the regular season versus the Athletics in Tokyo, Japan March 20-21.
