latest offseason news

so how much of the pie to the rangers(mlb teams) get from merc sales.....

not sure of the math but read on twitter if 1/10 of japans population buys a darvish rangers shirt at 20$ that would be around 250 million

Its not quibbling, its the same dance that happens every year with every arbitration eligible player, player submits a number on the high side and the team a number on the low side, 9 times out of 10 agreeing on a number at the midpoint, no big deal

Ok, makes more sense now that he was making over 6 Million a year in US dollars in Japan. That's a lot of Yen, about 1/2 billion.

Well if you want to be real it's 6 yrs for a 110 million dollar investment. However, if he really is a TORP that's worth it.
