How exactly are the Eagles going to improve for next season? Are they going to sign big name free agents in the off-season? Which ones are going to be out there?

- Are they going to sign big name free agents in the off-season? Which ones are going to be out there?

Kenji Johjima, Motonobu Tanishige, Kazuhiro Kiyohara, Kiyoshi Toyoda, and Tuffy Rhodes are free agents if I'm not mistaken. Though Johjima, in my opinion, will either stay with Softbank or go to the majors.
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.
