The Seattle Mariners are no stranger to signing Asian born players, in fact, they are only one and two signees behind the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers respectively for most players from the East to put on an MLB jersey.
Of course Ichiro Susuki is the most celebrated of them all, and he was a Mariner signing- they have just signed the next big star in Dae-ho Lee. The Mariners are number one however when speaking of Korean born players on a squad- they have had three (two former, one present).
