Agree here.

Ichiro Suzki, the Japanese outfield sensation who's 41, is receiving some consideration from the Orioles.

Ichirio, who is hoping to play to reach the coveted 3,000 hits in Major League Baseball, is 156 hits short and looking for a job, and the Orioles seek another outfielder.

Baltimore has lost Nelson Cruz and Nick markakis via free agency and is also considering free agents Nori Aoki and Colby Rasmus, as well as their own Delmon Young.

Ichiro was said to have drawn a bit of interest at the Winter Meetings, but Baltimore becomes the first team connected to him. He hit .284 last year for the Yankees.

SMH.

PLEASE. NO.

Just sign Rasmus/Aoki to play RF.

They cost to much.

Sounds like agent talk trying to get some value for Ichiro. MLB Network said last week if he doesn't get a MLB contract by the end of the month he will sign back in Japan.

I will not be happy if Ichiro is signed.

You aren't suggesting that Heyman would act as a shill for an agent are you?

[Birdfan21]

I'll eat my socks if the Orioles sign Ichiro to a major league deal

PLEASE. NO.

Just sign Rasmus/Aoki to play RF.

Even someone like Nate Schierholtz or Emilio Bonifacio, both FAs, would be better in every single way.

I really doubt DD would do this.

I think Bonifacio would be a GREAT fit for this team.

It's Heyman.... grain of salt.

Sign me up for Bonifacio. Great super-utility guy with speed. Then trade Flaherty/Matusz plus for Seth Smith?

That could work, though I'd like to get someone other than Smith.

This. It 'a figment of his imagination.

I hope Ichiro signs somewhere this season and achieves his goal of reaching 3,000 MLB hits. I also hope that it isn't with the Orioles.

I remember that day.

I heard the announcement. Hell, I even called the front office of the Mariners just before the press conference (prepared to yell at somebody) and the receptionist I spoke to couldn't even talk, she was crying. Then the conference happened and it wasn't just that the Mariners traded him, but HE asked for the trade.

My kid brother (a grown man, but with a heart that beats for the Mariners like mine for the Os) broke down in tears too, and he's a tough dude. My Mom, Dad, my Brother and his girlfriend had tickets to go to that game. They couldn't do it.

It was just too heartbreaking.

Screw Him.
