Really? On CBS Sportsline it says that he's going to be heading to the Chiba Lotte Marines. (buymeabeer pounds his head on the desk repeatedly.) ... Americans.

For those of you who didn't understand that, there was a mistake put in which was understandably corrected. However, to correct the correction of an error (follow that?), CBS Sportsline said that he was heading to the Chiba Lotte Mariners, not the Chiba Lotte Marines. That extra 'R' makes all the difference.

Thanks for clarifying that. It was very confusing. I had double checked that the original post didn't say Mariners, but didn't check CBS Sportsline for what they wrote. A URL to the article causing your desk to attack would have been useful.

The A's have indeed sold Watson to the Chiba Lotte Marines. The A's website has a press release up for it now.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Once Watson passes through waivers, provided another MLB team does not claim Watson in the next 48 hours and buy out Chiba Lotte, Watson will be on his way to Japan by the end of the week.
