The idea that the Mariner front office would abandon their "Fantasy Island everything is going just peachy" act and trade the franchise player is pretty far fetched.
Keeping Meathead Mike as the manager was a pretty clear shot across Ichiro's bow.
I don't see Ichiro throwing a Terrell Owens temper tantrum and making it easy for the front office. I think the powers that be have about six months to fix this thing or it is going to blow up in their faces.
