Yankees were the loosers in the Daisuke Matsuzaka sweepstakes. Sox outbid six other teams, and signed Matsuzaka to 6 year 52 million dollar deal, and they pay out 51 million to the Siebu Lions, who posted Matsuzaka
The Yankees won a bid for leftie Kei Igawa, who has is a career 86-60, with 1174 K's in 1244 Innings pitched. The Yankees won the bid for his services for 25 Million dollars and have negotiated a 20 Million dollar deal for the next five years, pending a physical (ESPN story). Igawa is 28, and won the Central League Sawamura Award (MLB's Cy Young) in 2003. He figures to be the #3 guy in the rotation behind Johnson and Petite

No-Daisuke Matsuzaka, the guy the Sox got, is signed for the next couple years and is already touring around Boston, dropping the puck at a Bruins game and stuff like that. Kei Igawa was signed by the Yankees.

Left handed pitcher, Kei Igawa was signed for $4 million per year (5 years) by the Yankees, but the Red Sox won the Japanese sweepstakes by inking stud right hander, Daisuke Matsuzaka for $8million per year (6 years). Daisuke Matsuzaka has been arguably the best pitcher in Japan over the last few years.
Let the war begin...Red Sox Yankees, 2007!
