Kuroda to Stay with Carp!
The Chugoku Shinbun is reporting that Kuroda will not declare free agency and will remain with Carp next season [in Japanese]. Great news for Carp fans!

Wow! What great news, and a real shot in the arm for the Carp.
Good on you Kuroda!

I couldn't have read the Japanese if the link were still available. Was it a one year deal or multiple years?

If I remember correctly in the contract it also states that if Kuroda decides to go over to the MLB during the period of the contract, the Carp will need to grant his wish. Can anyone confirm this?

I had to do a fair amount of digging through Google, but it seems the answer is it's a four year deal but that Kuroda does have the option to leave for the majors.

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.
