PADRES PUT CLAIM ON IGAWA | By GEORGE KING | New York Yankees

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/11/sp...l?ref=baseball

The Yanks are unlikely to give away a guy they paid tens of millions in posting fees, but he obviously hasn't worked for them. I don't expect Igawa to move before the season, but this will lay the groundwork for Kei Igawa to move and places the Padres clearly in the interested column.

Igawa is owed 16M$ over four years after the completion of the year.

I wonder if Seattle would have claimed him, they were the next team to get that opportunity if the Padres hadn't.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
