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.

The general public can order tickets via phone at 011-81-3-5777-8600 (from the U.S.) on February 9th from 6 PM to 10 PM (EST). I'm not sure if that is only for Japan or everyone. As the article mentions, more specific ticket information is expected from MLB in the near future.
Also through the Red Sox Destinations package, packages to see the exhibition game versus Yomiuri and the two games can be bought for $4,999. That includes roundtrip private charter airfare direct from Boston to Tokyo. You can see more information here [MLB.com]. More information on the Destinations package is available here [MLB.com].
