Royals Close To Signing Yasuhito Yabuta
Royals Close To Signing Yasuhito Yabuta
According to Ken Rosenthal, the Royals are close to signing 34 year-old Japanese reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta to a two-year deal with a third year option. The White Sox had been in on him as well. Here's what Aaron and Jackson of East Windup Chronicle had to say about Yabuta: Yabuta, the right-handed set up man for the Chiba Lotte Marines, is probably best known for striking out A-Rod, Derrek Lee, and Johnny Damon in the 2006 World Baseball Classic. Yabuta has racked up 86 holds and a sub-3.00 ERA over the last three years for the Marines despite not panning out as a starter. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/kansas...als/index.html |

Always wise to sign a 34 year old pitcher who has never pitched in the big leagues.

Sweet, i guess hehe. I wonder what other FA's we are looking at, or what trades may happen in the winter meetings.

A Mystery Team has already made a four-year offer to Francisco Cordero. We know the Brewers made an offer on Monday but Rosenthal may be referring to another club.

That would be nice to get F-Cord. and the royals i believe are pushing hard for Hunter. Also interested in Guillen but the steriods supposedly put him on the backburner.

Grab him before the White Sox, his 2.80 ERA in past three years will surely go up if he becomes a Royal sadly.
