Ichiro hopes to stay in MLB

Ichiro Suzuki, who became a free agent in November when the Miami Marlins declined their option to sign him for the 2018 season, still hasn’t given up hope of remaining in Major League Baseball. Suzuki was quoted by Kyodo news agency as saying: “I feel like a big dog at a pet shop that hasn’t been sold. Of course, I want to play baseball next year.” Suzuki, who has 3,080 hits in MLB, was in his hometown of Toyoyama for the closing ceremony of the Ichiro Cup youth baseball tournament. He was asked if there was any possibility of him returning to play in Japan if he isn’t offered an MLB deal “When you use the word possibility, there are many things ... it means anything is possible as long as it’s not zero,” he said. The 44-year-old has said that he wants to play until he’s 50.
