09:07 AM ET 07.28 | Ichiro Suzuki requested a trade, but the Mariners front office was thrilled to get him to the Yankees. One of the toughest maneuvers in sports is to transition an icon through his fade. In other words, exactly where the Yankees were heading not long ago with Derek Jeter. But from coming off the disabled list last season through going into last night's game, Jeter was at .319/.368/.429 for a .798 OPS in 165 games/692 at-bats. It is not Jeter's prime, but it is close enough that the Yankees could table the Ichiro-esque-type discomfort for a future date. "It wasn't just me," a veteran scout said. "Most scouts thought Derek had reached his decline and would not come back. But he seems to have broken back through that wall. He has some spring in his game again. It is kind of incredible."
