http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3705150 Right-handed pitcher Darrell Rasner, who started 20 games for the New York Yankees last season, has been sold to a team in Japan for $1 million, his agent said. Rasner, 27, expects to sign a two-year deal with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of the Pacific League, agent Matt Sosnick said. Curse of the Ras-bino?
Nah. He was probably going to be released anyway. He wanted to go to Japan (the player has to consent).
Meh, at least we got something for him. He was great at the start of his season...but then just collapsed. I have no idea what happened to him, but he just folded, big time, after a good start.
