Sanspo and others have the scoop - Hideki Irabu has signed a deal with the Long Beach Armada of the independant Golden League. There's an official announcement reportedly coming on the 27th.
Irabu is still a name, particularly on this side of the Pacific, and I think he'll sell a few tickets for the Armada. We'll see if he has enough left in his right arm to help them on the field.
