  • NEW YORK -- The Yankees and Ichiro Suzuki finalized a $13 million, two-year contract Wednesday that keeps the 10-time All-Star in the Bronx. Jacquizz Rodgers Jersey .

He figures to see corner outfield time, with the Yankees allowing right Nick Swisher to become a free agent. "I believe the Yankees organization appreciates that there is a difference between a 39-year-old who has played relying only on talent, and a 39-year-old who has prepared, practiced, and thought thoroughly through many experiences for their craft. I am very thankful, and I will do my best to deliver on their expectations," he said. New York opened a roster spot by designating right-hander Jim Miller for assignment.

The Pro Bowl player practiced Wednesday for the first time since he was injured in a loss at Green Bay on Sept. 13. He sat out last weeks win over the St. Louis Rams. He responded, "Uh huh, yeah," when asked if he expects to play against the Cowboys. Forte went through individual drills Wednesday and said he felt "pretty good." "I can sprint. So I think Ill be good to go," he added. Coach Lovie Smith tempered the optimism a bit, saying Forte is "making progress every day " "I would hold off on ..." Smith said, his voice trailing off. "Hes got a long ways to go, still. But he is making progress, and hopefully we can get him out tthere. Thomas DeCoud Jersey. " Either way, the fact that Forte was back practicing was a good sign for the Bears. He went to the locker room midway through the third quarter against Green Bay after he appeared to twist his right ankle while being tackled by Charles Woodson, leaving Chicago without one of its top players in a game. That was a big blow for an offence that was already struggling after an impressive opener against Indianapolis, and things werent much better last week. The defence came to the rescue, leading the Bears to a 23-6 win over the Rams. Forte, meanwhile, said he didnt think he would miss much time because the ankle didnt swell up much last week. "Thats the big part," he said. "When the swelling is big, it takes a long time to get it out, but I didnt really swell up so I knew Id be back pretty soon." ' ' '
