Ichiro traded to the Yankees for prospects

can somebody give me a basketball analogy of this trade?

Ray Allen for a second round draft pick.

How was the Montero trade a lose lose? He's only 22 and hitting around .260 in the most inconsistent lineup in baseball. And this was also a good move for us, it was time to move on.

Dude's playing for a team that's got a good track record of making players terrible, until I see him put up at least 2 years of solid stats I've got him booked as the next Justin Smoak. BTW, now that Smoak's been optioned to the minors I think you guys'll be seeing Montero at first a few times in the near future.
And you know how this has pretty much been a big L for the Yankees. Not just Pineda & Campos going down but also Martin's performance being a far cry from what Yankees fans have come to expect from "the catcher of the New York Yankees" (yes we've been spoiled by Posada, expected Montero to take over & now can't wait until Sanchez comes into the mix a few years from now or at least I can't lol).

Still I think you guys got the better of this trade (for now) since this means you guys won't have the pressure of deciding whether to sign Ichiro to an extension or not, plus you guys have been wanting to see your hitting prospects get more playing time (only to watch them get Smoak'd). And judging from how almost every M's fan I know turned their back on Ichiro ever since he couldn't hit 200 hits anymore I'm guessing you won't miss him much.

Turned on him? He wasnt a clubhouse leader or big in the community, in fact a few players came out anonymously sayingnhe was a cancer and he asked for a trade. Maybe you are a magic fan but when a player asks for a trade i dont want them to be here and ruin chemistry.

Stick a fork in the Ichiro.  He is toast.

Looks like he's been playing pretty well. It's been a pleasure not having him shoved in my face by our marketing department (but now that the Seahawks are playing my Mariners interest has taken a big dip).

I will make a bold prediction and say that Ichiro will be inducted into Cooperstown as a New York Yankee.

No way. Unless he plays for another seven-eight years hitting .300 ball lmao.

That's about as logical as your Michael Pineda for Jesus Montero was a "lose lose trade" argument.
