Ichiro Suzuki and the New York Yankees are expected to finalize a one-year contract this week, according to a baseball official with knowledge of the talks.

Suzuki, 39, finished this past season with a .283 batting average and a .307 on-base percentage. He could be slated as the Yankees' every-day right fielder this upcoming season since free agent Nick Swisher is not expected to return.

After being acquired in late July from Seattle, Suzuki reverted to being a very solid player, batting .322 in 67 games with the Yankees. In 95 games with the Mariners, he batted just .261 with a .288 on-base percentage.

Suzuki embraced playing for the Yankees and sounded as if he wanted to return to the team by the end of the year.

revertは「（元の習慣・信仰・状態に）戻る，復帰する」という意味です。イチローの場合はマリナーズから移籍後、復調がめざましく、そのことがrevertで表現されています。re-があるので、あくまで「元の状態に」「以前の調子に」というところが味噌です。（UG）
