Yanks Win Kei Bid

The Yankees have won the rights to negotiate with Japanese LHP Kei Igawa. The bid is said to be approximately $25 million. Here's the statement from Yanks GM Brian Cashman:

“We have been following Kei Igawa’s very successful and accomplished career in Japan, and we are excited about the opportunity to begin the negotiating process with him. "

“The Hanshin Tigers are a well respected and successful organization, and I’ve heard from a number of people about how devoted their fans are. I’m confident that if we are successful in bringing Mr. Igawa to the Bronx, the Yankees’ organization along with our passionate and diverse fan base can provide the same type of commitment and excitement that he has become so accustomed to.”
