The players get a 40,000 dollar compensation for going to Japan.
It all ended up getting ironed out and the sox will go to Japan today.
-Bartolo Colon will not start the season with the sox, he was assigned to minor league camp.
-Craig Hansen will start the year in triple A.
- Curt Schilling is on the 60 day DL.
