Yes! Wonder if Tanaka staying has anything to do with is...or if it helps our cause. Won’t hurt. Also Matsui.

Otani wears #11. Brett will have to be traded.

Otani will be Posted any day. The bidding for Otani among MLB teams will be unique.
League rules state once Otani is formally posted, teams will have just four days to bid on him using their international signing bonus pool.

He'll make it a strong point of negotiation so, unless his ML team renegs, he might indeed get what he wants. I can see P + DH, as long as he can earn his way into both roles. Let's see that stroke of his against the top pitching in the game. Remember, with Cashman, old paradigms are going out the window.

I thought the bonus pool was a limit on what teams can pay him, but the posting fee, which goes to the team, has no limit.

He'd sit on his a$$ for four out of every five games with the Dodgers. Not what he's looking for.
