2 Million 2018 option is declined by the Marlins and Ichiro's contract is bought out for $500,000.
End of MLB career for ichiro?
First of many unpopular budget cutting moves by Jeter?

I'm not sure how paying $500k for a 44-year old pinch hitter would have been a popular move with fans?

Ichiro has been terrible the last years. Obviously it is amazing that he can hit 250 against mlb pitching at his age but it is an empty 250 and he isn't producing value anymore.
