Report: Ichiro Suzuki agrees to 2-year, $13 million Yankees deal

The Yankees and Ichiro Suzuki have agreed on a two-year, $13 million deal, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com via Twitter.

In a season split between Seattle and New York, Ichiro, 39, batted .261 with four homers, 28 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 95 games with the Mariners, then hit .322 with five homers, 27 RBIs and 14 steals in 67 games for the Yankees.

The 10-time All-Star will likely play right field or left field for the Yankees in 2013 — his 13th in the majors.
