Hot Stove: Ichiro Suzuki Willing to Play the Waiting Game with New York Yankees

Suzuki wants to return to the New York Yankees in 2013, according to George King of the New York Post.

Suzuki’s agent, Tony Attanasio, told King:

“There has been a lot of interest [from teams], but he enjoyed playing for the Yankees so much it’s hard for him to say no to the Yankees. His preference is to stay there instead of going someplace else, but we will wait and see.”

Suzuki, 39, seems to be a logical replacement for free-agent Nick Swisher in right field. He hit .322/.340/.454 with five homers and 27 RBI in 240 plate appearances with New York after a July 24 trade from the Seattle Mariners. That was a vast improvement from the .261/.288/.353 he had posted in 423 plate appearances with the Mariners.
