Junichi Tazawa has now reportedly signed a term sheet with Boston, meaning that as long as he passes a physical he’ll be a member of the Red Sox. Tazawa apparently turned down more money—perhaps significantly more, depending on where Boston’s final offer landed between $3 million and $6 million—from other clubs, signing with the team that had been scouting him as early as last year.
Signing Tazawa was a no-brainer for the Red Sox. If he was an American college player eligible for next June’s draft, at worst he’d be taken in the top two rounds, and I think it’s likely he’d go in the back half or third of the first round. Boston has to burn a spot on its 40-man roster on him, but they had two spots open already and have at least two or three players they could outright if they need the room.

No thanks, I'd rather live in Boston and play for less. You have to look at from an overseas prospective. I'm sure Texas has some nice spots, but if you are from overseas you want to go to Boston, NY, SF, LA. Places that would seem to have more of an cosmopolitan feel.
I thought Keith was prohibited by law from liking any teams moves.
That's Prospectus's bag, methinks.
