Here we have yet another very ODD thing about Seattle Mariners history, that they gained a "True Superstar" and ... his main on-field contribution was one season. (Well, they EXPLOITED his presence for one season.) Which was a Red Sox 2004 type season. His first season. After that zip. You'd never find another such case.
Of course the Mariners used that 2001 season, and they used Ichiro, to prop up their marketing for at least ten years. And what are the ramifications for the M's vis-a-vis Japan?
Not the contribution of a Robinson Cano. Many, many times the contribution of a Robinson Cano.
