If I were Ichiro, I would not sign a contract extension until I was convinced that the team was serious about winning..... Unfortunately, it sounds to me like Ichiro has a much more realistic assesment of where this team is headed....

I believe you are correct.
The ball is in the M's court. If the team doesn't work anything out in ST, I'm guessing that we're losing this Japanese icon. Strange thing is I cannot imagine that happening. Ichiro will always be a Mariner. Right? Even in this age of FA movement, he will always be an M -- a franchise player. Right?!
