In the previous night's game, Ichiro recorded two hits to break a career-worst 0-for hitless streak.
Former teammate Jay Buhner stated he felt Ichiro was the recipient of too much blame for the Mariners' difficulties but "at the same time, they need help desperately.
I mean, really, no offense. No offense, we've got to get this organization turned around. You can't be spending all the money on one guy. Ichiro approached the Mariners to ask for a trade at midseason in , as he felt guilty for taking a roster spot from a younger player while his team was in a rebuilding process.
His first choice was to play for the New York Yankees. The Mariners traded him to the Yankees for minor league pitchers D. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar on 23 July. Seattle also received cash in the trade. Ichiro left Seattle hitting. His first game as a Yankee was played the night of the trade, at Safeco Field against the Mariners. Before the trade was consummated, Ichiro agreed to the Yankees' conditions, which stated that they would play Ichiro primarily in left field, bat him at the bottom of the lineup, and occasionally sit him against left-handed pitching.
Ichiro would go on to hit safely in his first 12 games as a Yankee, tying a record set by Don Slaught.

He batted under. On 10 July, manager Eric Wedge did not start Ichiro, ending his then-major league-best active streak of consecutive starts. Ichiro followed with an game hitting streak, but Wedge noted "it's not that easy to give that guy a day off" due to Ichiro's iconic stature.

This was Ichiro's 3rd season playing in all games. Ichiro finished first or second in hits in all of his first 10 MLB seasons. Ichiro also won his second consecutive and third overall Fielding Bible Award for his statistically based defensive excellence in right field, as the only right fielder to have so far received multiple Bible awards.

Louis for his ninth All-Star appearance, Ichiro made a trip to Sisler's grave. He later told reporters, "There's not many chances to come to St. In , it was the first time I crossed paths with him, and his family generously came all the way to Seattle. Above all, it was a chance. I wanted to do that for a grand upperclassman of the baseball world. I think it's only natural for someone to want to do that, to express my feelings in that way.
I'm not sure if he's happy about it. Ichiro began his season by going on the disabled list for the first time in his career. He had a bleeding ulcer, which team doctor Mitch Storey said may have been caused in part by the stress of playing in the World Baseball Classic.
After missing 8 games, Ichiro debuted on 15 April and went 2-for-5 against the Angels, including a grand slam for his 3,th overall professional career hit. The home run matched Isao Harimoto's Japanese record for career hits, and Harimoto had been flown out to Seattle to witness the event.
Ichiro surpassed the record the following night. Ichiro was named 30 on the Sporting News' list of the 50 greatest current players in baseball, voted upon by a person panel of experts and former stars. In May and June, Ichiro surpassed his own franchise record with a game hitting streak.

Arguing that a strikeout pitch from Toronto's David Purcey had been outside, Ichiro used his bat to draw a line on the outer edge of the plate, and was immediately tossed by umpire Brian Runge. He was the only Mariner to be ejected from a game all season. The ejection may have hurt Ichiro's chances regarding an esoteric record: the longest playing streak without going hitless in consecutive games.
