Ichiro Suzuki was thrilled to re-sign with the Yankees after coming to New York in a midseason trade from the Mariners.

Suzuki received a two-year, $13 million deal.

"Signing with the Yankees has given me a new sense of determination," he said. "This is a unique team. A team that can have a player like Alex Rodriguez as a pinch hitter is special, and to be part of that is exciting."
