Report: Japanese P Tazawa and BoSox agree to contract

Mon 1st, December 2008

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Japanese pitcher Junichi Tazawa has reportedly agreed to a three-year contract with the Boston Red Sox.

The Boston Globe, citing a source in baseball, said the 22-year-old will arrive in Boston later this week and will undergo a physical to complete the deal, which is reported to be around $3 million.

The newspaper also stated that Tazawa rejected offers from three other major league teams, including the Texas Rangers, who offered him more money.

With reports stating that his fastball is anywhere between the low 90s to as high as 97 miles per hour, it is unknown whether the Red Sox will use him as a starter or a set up man.
