Kuroda Not Yet Committed

by Jeff Sullivan on Dec 12, 2007 3:16 PM PST in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

Japanese free agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda is on the move, but reports he has chosen the Los Angeles Dodgers are inaccurate, sources said.

Kuroda, a prime Diamondbacks' target, left for Los Angeles on Wednesday morning Japanese time amid reports he has chosen the Dodgers.

Kuroda, however, told Japanese news services that he was flying to Los Angeles to confer with his agent, Steve Hilliard, who is based in San Diego.

"I still haven't narrowed down which team I will play for," Kuroda told Japanese news outlets before leaving from Narita airport. "My agent is in Los Angeles, so I don't know anything until I get there and meet him."

Why This Is Good: We may not have to live in fear of Plan B after all.

Why This Is Bad: Plan A is a boring old biddy.

Breaking News!

The Mariners almost did something, and then didn't. In other news, something almost was done to the Mariners, before it wasn't.

It happened when he was much younger.

They gave him all the popsicles he wanted after the surgery.

At least oday has been much less boring.

Sure nothing is still happening, but we've had new reasons to mock the Orioles, Astros, Giants, and 64-year-olds who don't understand the meaning of "alcohol poisoning".

If Plan B is

Trading for Bedard, why are we in fear of that??? I HOPE the Dodger pick up Kudora so the M's are the last serious contender for Bedards services!

Go M's

by OBF on Dec 12, 2007 4:25 PM PST reply actions

Bedard and Kuroda are separate

we're fearful of the Kuroda Plan B.

by Jeff Sullivan on Dec 12, 2007 4:28 PM PST up reply actions

Ah got it

So Bedard is Plan ... 1?

Another benefit to losing out on Kudora, espeacially if he goes there even though thier offer is lower, is that since Mr. Y wants Kudora very much it will put extra heat on Linoln and Armstrong's already warm seats.

Seriously if Kudora goes to the Dodgers because he likes that org better and not because of money, you don;t think that would get Mr. Y's attention? He would be pissed!

Go M's
