What would it take to get Ichiro?
I'm just throwing that out there. What would it take?

A time machine... to go back in time and sign him before he signed with the M's.
He'll retire a M |

Re: What would it take to get Ichiro?
Ichiro is signed for 2 more years and probably close to 40 mil, 36 years old, and the equivilant of the stars of the BRM in Cincinnati.. he's not going anywhere.

If the entire US west of Cincinnati fell into the Pacific Ocean....and Cincy became a hub of the Pacific Rim with the new west coast's best sushi, the Reds have a chance.

Re: What would it take to get Ichiro?
You could kidnap Felix, Ackley, Smoak, and the principal owner's wife and kids, and they might pay Ichiro as the ransom to get them back. It might not be worth the risk of getting caught and spending the rest of your life in prison, though.

Micheal Bourn (HOU) is more realistic.... I'm serious. I think we'll trade for him.

 That would be incredibly excellent. A big upgrade in WAR, UZR and EyeballTest over all of our LF/CF options. |
