    I'm quite certain he doesn't mind breaching his Japanese league contract. Whatever club gets him I'm sure would pay any and all buyout fees if necessary, for sure.

    it wouldn't be a breach, his team would post him and they would get a fee. but still very unlikely until for 5-6 more years because he couldn't get big money with the current international signings bonus pool cap.

    0:54 and 1:00 a bunch of substance is flying off the ball when it is headed towards home plate. How much is this guy doctoring up the balls?
