Yokohama to Acquire Three
by Patrick Newman (Nov 20, 2009)
According the local Kanagawa news website Kanaloco.jp, the Yokohama BayStars are working on adding three additions to their foreign roster.
- Chris Bootcheck, who appeared in the majors with Pittsburgh in 2009, and another guy from my list of foreign player candidates
- Jose Castillo, the former top prospect who spent 2009 with the 7-Eleven Lions of Taiwan
- Termel Sledge, Nippon Ham's best power threat in '09
Negotiations with Bootcheck and Castillo are in final stages, and while negotiations with Sledge haven't started yet, Yokohama appears to be the favorite to land him.
Whoever Yokohama winds up with will join Stephen Randolph on the roster next season.
