IF TANAKA POSTS, THE YANKS HAVE A BETTER SHOT NOW

Here's an interesting nugget and I wanted to bring it to your attention. That's why I like guys like Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record, or Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News.  You can ultimately read everything about a certain issue. But then you read them... and you realize something you didn't know before.  This time it's McCarron, who writes:

" Choo-to-the-Rangers could eliminate Texas from a potential bidding free-for-all for Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka, one of the Yankees’ primary targets. Of course, Tanaka may not be available at all because some believe his club, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, won’t put him through the posting system.

Still, a Yahoo! Japan report said Tanaka was considering three agents in case he’s posted — Casey Close, Arn Tellem and Mark Pieper."

Nice nugget...

Oh and as far as a decision for Tanaka... a posting decision is supposed to go down on or around Christmas. Read about it HERE. It's safe to say you'll hear from us here at BYB on Christmas day... no rest for us I guess... we're OK with that.
