Apparently 6 million over three years is the current offer.  Considering what we were willing to pay Crow, and the fact that we didn't I would have hoped we would have at least thrown in a bid.

Here is a write of of Tazawa:

From what I understand, this has a bit more to do with a "gentlemen's" agreement between MLB and the Japanese leagues.  Some teams are avoiding bidding on this kid because it violates an agreement between the leagues and the Japanese pro leagues are saying that any MLB team negotiating with this kid is in violation.  Some are willing to be scumbags, I guess (Boston).

Its funny how willing the MLB is to restrain trade and reach a 'gentleman's agreement' when it means owners will have to spend less.

One would think that Boston would try to keep their relationship with japan - I'm just saying .  .
