For those of you who don't know this guy...he was posted by his Japanese team last season and the Athletics made a big of $19.1 million for him but were unable to sign him. Due to the posting rules, he returned to his Japanese team and played there last season, and he was allowed to be a free agent this season for anyone to sign.
They signed him to a 1 year, $1.5 million contract with $3.4 million in incentives based on starts and innings pitched.
