Marlins bringing back Ichiro Suzuki for 2016 season

Veteran outfielder Ichiro Suzuki will be re-signed by the Marlins for the 2016 season, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

This move shouldn't really come as much of a surprise considering Suzuki is 65 hits away from 3,000 in his career. The skills certainly tapered off in 2015 (.229/.282/.279 in 438 at-bats), but he does provide some versatility in the outfield. At the very least, he could represent a terrific marketing asset as he approaches his career milestone.
