The Red Sox and Daisuke Matsuzaka have agreed to a six year deal, worth 52 million dollars. Owner John Henry and Theo Epstein went to L.A. Monday in hopes of striking a deal and then fly back with Matsuzaka for a physical and press conference. Matsuzaka, 26, was posted by the Seibu Lions last month and the Red Sox posted the highest bid at 51.1 million dollars. The former WBC MVP will join their rotation in the number two or three spot.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!!!!
enjoy igawa
sox in 07
i really thought he was not going to boston, damn
go yanks
MATSUSAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now we can all sleep easy knowing that the Red Sox signed Matsuzaka, too bad he will still struggle his first season.
i agree, or he will get 9-11 wins with like 7 losses. i think he will turn into a bright star, but it will take a year or two. as for igawa, i see him like nomo, a good year or two, but then fall apart.
Notice 180 IP per year is his sweet spot, which is good for about 25-30 starts.
