Kei Igawa homesick?
Kei Igawa | Yankees
ESPN's Jayson Stark has heard from two different baseball insiders that Kei Igawa recently asked the Yankees if there is any possible way he could return to Japan after this season.
The Yankees explored different options but found nothing and have given up for now.
The club is still on the hook for $11 million dollars to Igawa through the 2010 season.
I'm surprised that Igawa can't just "retire" and head home forfeiting the remaining money. Unless of course he wants to head back to Japan AND keep the $11m he's owed

Answer -- So much that we can get our legs tied together, walking 3 legged for the rest of our lives and I'd love it.
