Why in the world would Iwakuma mention being interested in the A's after last year's debacle?

Maybe it was just his agent that was against the whole thing? I don't know. I found the statement just as odd.
One theory might be that the A's did communicate with Iwakuma better than his agent Dan Nomura, who didn't seem to have a protocol channel with the A's at all.

It could also be because there is not the issue of the posting fee this year, as Iwakuma will be a real free agent. Oakland is a very cheap organization, so the posting fee+salary was a disaster waiting to happen. Matsui seems happy there, so I guess still a possible option.
