Just search the first page of the Rumor Mill forum. There currently are a lot of topics discussing who may or may not be heading to the majors.

Iwase has 86 saves for the Dragons over the past two seasons. With the pressure of pennant races, every save a big game. Considering how Okajima has been so successful with Boston this season, teams may be looking to Japan for bullpen help, especially cool customers who don't get awestruck by the big stage.
