Where is he going? Durham Bulls (AAA), Montgomery Biscuits(AA). I'll feel sorry for him if he goes to Pricneton (A) or lower. Poor Tornado!!

A rumor has it that (gasp!)the Yankees are considering taking him on, probably because their starting rotation is so ravaged. Who knows how far that will go, though.

"Where is he going?"
Now that Nomo is designated for assignment, the Devil Rays have 10 days to trade or release him. I seriously doubt he will be pitching in AAA Durham.
"A rumor has it that (gasp!)the Yankees are considering taking him on"
With the recent trade for Al Leiter, and his good pitched game against the Red Sox, I'm not so sure about Nomo going to the Yankees right now, though who knows right now.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Nomo said he will head back to Florida to join his family, and said he has every intention of staying in the majors. Nomo said:"I want to keep playing in the Majors, so I'm going to wait for a call, I understand why they made the call."
Nomo said he has no intention of returning to Japan however. Nomo this year has won his 200th game between the majors and NPB.
