I hope so
He's hitting .275 with 18 SBs so far this season and still a very good fielder, so I think he still has a couple years in him. 280 hits in 2 (maybe even more) years isn't hard for Ichiro as long as he's an every day player
I think the issue with Ichiro is thhat he doesnt walk much and isnt an effective leadoff hitter anymore if his average sits at .270. I'm not sure any team will put him in the leadoff role and make him an everyday player for 2 years. I do hope he makes it though.
