Youkilis heads to Japan.

He'll play for Rakuten Eagles next year.


(No word on if he spoke to Bobby Valentine about the benefits of Japanese Baseball)...

This story is so new, that I have yet to see anyone ask or make a connection to this being the same team that is still holding on to Tanaka. As this is not really a major signing, I still wonder if this move will help them decide to move Tanaka after all?


Regardless, I can't see and read this without this minor 1980 hit by The Vapors

Youkilis should have no trouble finding people smarter than Not-My-Valentine to discuss that with.

Glad to hear that Youk will be playing somewhere next year but could have done without the reminder of the Valentine fiasco.

They probably won't even mind his giant head.
