SuperSteve Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 One of my friends (a Cubs fan) was saying the Cubs were talking to Seattle about Ichiro for Patterson and Farnsworth/Mitre. Any truth to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I have also heard that trade rumor but i cannot see the mariners letting him go no matter how bad they are doing this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, especially for that cheap. I could see if it was something like Ichiro, Aurillia, and a minor leaguer for Patterson, Mitre, Zambrano, and a PTBNL.

Kid Gleason Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 That would friggin' kill me. Ichiro is easily one of my favorite players, and whereas it would be nice to see him play whenever I wanted, I would still hate to see him on that side of town. BUT, if the Cubs getting Ichiro means them booting Sosa to the curb, then I am all for it! I could go for no more Sosa news!!! :sosasucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Master Buehrle Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 There's no way Seattle trades Ichiro. No way. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I think it's another Cubbie dream trade. Kind of like last year, "Let's trade Bobby Hill for Mike Lowell!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 There's no way Seattle trades Ichiro. No way. Period. Yep -- Trading Ichiro, to the Seattle fans, would be worse than the "white Flag trade" was to white sox fans. This is all jut a bunch of cubbie garbage. corey Patterson is recieving more venom on the northside than Billy Koch and Danny wright combined on the southside. They don't like him cuz he strikes out too much. Funny it never dampened thier spirits to watch Sam-me get shackled with the Golden Sombrero.

IlliniKrush Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Well at least Sammy would come back the next day and hit a 3 run HR, whereas Patterson will get one hit if he's real lucky that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichiro means so much more to the M's than just his numbers. Without him, they wouldn't hav been able to sign Hasegawa and the closer Suzuki I think who left this season. Plus I guarantee attendance would drop by at least 10% prob. more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
