I doubt it. Seibu is most unlikely at the moment to trade for Kazuo. It's very unlikely for Kaz to go back to any NPB team next year. Any rumor that Kaz will be back in the NPB is pure speculation without any basis.
Seibu would like to have Kaz back, but is trying to be a competitive team. They won't give up good talent and gamble on their future (i.e. Matsuzaka, Nishiguchi, or Wada). Most rumors forget to gather sources on the other side and lack basis.

Just like the rumor you were attempting to start regarding Tuffy Rhodes ("I'm wondering if this deactivation has anything to do with Rhodes' attitude this year?"). You usually have very good posts, but I think in this case you need to practice what you preach.

I didn't try to start any rumor on Rhodes, I didn't learn of his injury until the next day. I was confused out of my mind why Rhodes was deactivated, and I was wondering if Yomiuri had deactivated him because his attitude. No where did I attempt or start a rumor.

MLB and Japanse teams are not allowed to trade players as teams can do in their respective leagues. Teams can sell players to the MLB or Japan though.

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.

It seems to me that a trade would permit the Mets and Matsui to get out of a difficult current situation - they would deal him for a player of only limited value. Back in Japan, he could be expected to return to his strong level of performance.
