In the midst of the Rick Nash Saga ending, one bit of news got lost in the shuffle, that being Ichiro getting traded from the Seattle Mariners to the New York Yankees. That meant Ichiro simply had to walk over to the opposing dugout, since the Yankees were in town to face the Mariners. More significantly, it's a sign that the Mariners are in rebuilding mode, as they need to find out who's major league ready in the field. For Ichiro, this trade is likely his best chance at a World Series ring that has eluded him since his debut. It is indeed an end of an era in Seattle, one that hopefully will see King Felix remain as a cornerstone for a team that is good with pitchers, but not so good for hitters in recent years.
