There was an
odd turn of events when the Mariners announced this morning that Ichiro was
being released. He is batting .205 with nine hits in 44 at bats, so he has
shown signs of slowing down a bit and I think that people were expecting him to
announce his retirement some time this season, but this was kind of unexpected.
But the Mariners also announced that Ichiro will be taking on a position in the
Mariners’ front office, so he will be remaining with the organization.
Some
reporters pointed out that nowhere in the announcement does it say that Ichiro
is retiring so this doesn’t mean that he is done playing so we will have to
wait and see.
Yeah, it is weird....we'll see where it goes.
ReplyDeleteI know aging can be a butt kicker, but I was hoping to watch him play a bit longer. I only have 3 PCs, Ernie, Ozzie, and Ichiro. Them's my boys. I wish him all the best where ever he finds himself.
ReplyDeleteSuper confusing situation. Feels like that girl who says she wants to break up... but keeps calling and coming over. Is he retired? Is he taking a break? I love my boy Ichiro... but I wish he'd just decide.
