Dodgers backing out of Iwakuma deal...failed physical

[cezero]

Interesting. Isn't a failed physical how we got him so cheap in the first place?

Somebody will be able to sign him cheap if this LA deal falls through. Hope it's us, really.

His market will be gone if true. Why not offer a 1 year deal with incentives or 1 year deal with a team option for a 2nd year. I had always thought guaranteeing him more then a year was dangerous. But with no risk on the teams end you gotta try for it

 

[SeattleCoug]

The fact that Kuma costs a draft pick too makes it even less likely another team signs him

This all sounds like a reunion which I find would be a great addition. If you team him up with Paxton as the china doll duo we would have solid depth at the SP position.
