Will they someday become just the Rakuten Eagles? Does Japan have golden eagles?) had almost every reason to keep Tanaka for another year, and had said they would do that, so I'm surprised they reversed course. I'm fascinated with finding out how much he will get.<br /><br />I'd like to know how Rakuten spins this for their fans. Sorry we lost our young, 24-0 pitcher who led us to our first championship because he wanted more money to play for a MLB team. But hey, we've got Youkilis now.<br /><br />Merry Christmas everyone!Rich Mahoganyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078545531672950308noreply@blogger.com
