Ichiro Suzuki is reportedly on the brink of returning to the place where he began his career in Major League Baseball.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Seattle Mariners are close to signing a one-year deal with the 44-year-old.
The outfielder spent 12 years in Seattle from 2001-12.
Suzuki spent parts of three seasons with the Yankees before joining the Marlins for the past three years, finishing 2017 with a .255 batting average and three home runs in 136 games.
The veteran was mostly used off the bench last year, with 109 of his 215 plate appearances coming as a pinch hitter.
