Hello fellow Sox fans. Daisuke Matsuzaka was just given permission to pursue a career in the MLB by his team in Japan. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2619621
While it would be nice to have a pitcher like Matsuzaka, who has been dominant in Japan, I realize the White Sox already have 6 starting pitchers for 2006, so Matsuzaka likely won't become a member of our rotation. However, who are the teams that would likely bid for the negotiation rights? Also, could someone explain the "posting system" teams use for players coming from other countries?
Go Sox!
