Yu Darvish: Record baseball neogitation deal

Japanese-Iranian star pitcher gets $51.7 million to talk to Texas Rangers

AP: The Texas Rangers won the Yu Darvish sweepstakes with a record bid of $51.7 million. Now they'll try to agree on a contract with Japan's top pitcher. Major League Baseball announced Monday night that the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters of Japan's Pacific League informed the U.S. commissioner's office they had accepted the highest bid for Darvish. That sealed offer was submitted under the posting system by the Rangers, winners of the past two AL pennants. They have 30 days to negotiate with Darvish and sign him to a deal. "Our ownership went the extra mile on this one," general manager Jon Daniels said on a conference call, declining to reveal specifics >>>

to him and his parents.  I went to under grad school and played soccer with his dad (not in Florida).  After those school days he married a Japanese lady and moved to Japan.  Few months ago he was in the US and in a gathering of old school friends I caught up with him.  He didn't say anything about his son being a pro baseall player in Japan.  If Yu is anything like his dad he's gonna be great!!
