November 22, 200421 yr "Report: Kapler signs with Japanese team" "Red Sox outfielder Gabe Kapler has signed a one-year contract to play with the Yomiuri Giants as reported on the Boston Dirt Dogs website earlier today. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the contract was believed to be worth $2 million plus an undisclosed signing bonus according to a report published on several online Japanese news outlets." So much for him...
November 22, 200421 yr The Red Sox are also trying to sell Kim in the orient but he doesn't want to go. They are still on the hook for $5-6 million (I don't remember the exact number) and they'll either trade his rights eating a big chunk or pay him to pitch somewhere in their organization. If there was ever a reclamation project worth taking a chance on (read major league minimum ala Easley) I believe it's that guy.
