As we learned earlier in the week the Miami Marlins lured
former New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners player Ichiro Suzuki with a one
year deal worth $2 million plus a load of incentives. Miami, as we learned
yesterday on the blog, actually flew all the way out to Ichiro’s native Japan
to introduce the 41 year old in a press conference. During that press
conference Ichiro was quoted as saying the following:
"When I met (Miami) team
executives yesterday, I felt incredible enthusiasm," Suzuki said at a
press conference on Thursday. "So I
wanted to respond to their enthusiasm and I believe that is something I have
been looking for the last two years."
Did Ichiro just diss
the New York Yankees? Ichiro has been with the Yankees the last two years as he
was earning a cool $13 million. I am not sure if I am simply reading too much
into the comment and he is speaking of HIS enthusiasm lacking in New York or if
that was a little jab against the Yankees organization.
What say you?
