Tanaka: Yankees Wanted Me Most, 'Relieved' To Have Deal 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jan 23, 2014 4:51 pm

Masahiro Tanaka chose to sign with the New York Yankees because they appreciated him the most among the interested parties.


"They gave me the highest evaluation and are a world-famous team." Tanaka said. The Japanese right-hander received a seven-year, $155 million deal from the Yankees.


Tanaka said he was "relieved" the deal was done and looked forward to standing on the mound at Yankee Stadium.
