According to ESPN, the Ichiro deal will only be good if the Yanks get the old Ichiro and either Swisher, someone else, or both struggle once coming back. The fact the Mariners were willing to give cash means they really wanted Ichiro gone if given the opportunity.

Since the Marlins traded Sanchez, I assume the Red Sox either will back out from trade talks with the Marlins because they wanted both Sanchez and Johnson or rumors of Hanley being included end up being true.
