TUESDAY: The Kia Tigers announced that they have rejected the winning bid for Yang, as was first reported (in Korean) by San Kang on Twitter (h/t: Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net).

As a result, there may end up being no certain resolution as to whether it as the Twins or Rangers who ultimately posted the highest bid. Regardless of which club won the bidding, Yang won’t be jumping to Major League Baseball until next offseason at least. He can be posted once again next November.

However, as Jeeho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency in Korea tweets, Yang will be eligible to jump to Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball in 2015 if the Tigers let him. Yoo also tweets that Yang can be eligible for unrestricted free agency following the 2016 season, at which point he wouldn’t need to be posted to sign with a Major League club.


No dice on that one, if in fact the Rangers were even the winners of the bidding. Oh well on to other options

jta was just talking about Guzman. Bad news on Guzman.

According to the police report, Guzman was driving a sports utility vehicle that struck a motorcycle, killing the rider: Eleazar Garcia. The incident occurred at 1 a.m., according to the report by the Dominican Republic National Police. Guzman will learn on Wednesday if charges will be filed against him.

The accident comes about one month after St. Louis outfield prospect Oscar Taveras and his girlfriend were killed in an auto accident in Puerto Plata, which is about 60 miles north of La Vega. Taveras was driving at a high rate of speed, and his blood-alcohol content was five times above the limit.

Darvish did agree to one significant change. He will remain in the area for at least several weeks and conduct his workouts at the club’s facilities. Darvish previously spent the overwhelming majority of the off-season at his home in Japan.

That's a shame. Feel JD's offseason plans were somewhat thwarted. But there was no telling how good this guy was going to be. And it was against the pitcher's wishes who I expect is none too happy right now.

I agree with ya. But at the same time, if I'm that team, getting so little for a valued asset wouldn't make me part with him either.

Anyone seen or heard anything on the Cobly Lewis front?

It is being reported that Guzman had not been drinking.

I don't think he meant to say he won't see the ML club until 2015.
