Yankees Trade For Ichiro (Updated)

(Update 8:33 PM) Ichiro will be wearing #31.

(Update 8:10 PM) To make room for Ichiro on the roster, the Yankees designated Dewayne Wise for assignment. Wise, who was a very solid bench player for this Yankees team, hit .262/.286/.492 in 63 ABs. You may have noticed that his numbers are actually better than Ichiro's (.261/.288/.353), but again, the hope has to be that he can get reenergized playing for a contender.

Nice move by Cashman. Ichiro may not be the player he once was, but I have to believe that a chance to play in The Pinstripes, with a chance to get a ring, may just be the thing he needs to get that spark back. Tonight should be pretty interesting.

But what number is he going to wear?

Mitchell & Betances To Make Debuts Tonight

D.J. Mitchell will be making his Triple-A debut for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees as they take on Rochester. Dellin Betances will make his debut for the Double-A Trenton Thunder tonight against New Hampshire as well.

Another debut worth mentioning will be Hector Noesi's Triple-A debut on Friday.

Check back later for the Minor League Report to see how Mitchell and Betances did.

For now, let's play predict the debut.... What do you think each players' pitching line will look like tonight?
