Awesome... very excited for this. Was pretty upset when I saw Drew signed with Boston earlier today. Well, that was until I saw this. Love the signing!

Warriors = 47-35, Western Conference 6th seed. WE GOT THIS!

So the Yankees won the posting fee on him last year, it doesn't say how much we had to pay for his fee this year?

That is the best part about the signing. "We" didn't have to pay a dime. After going back to Japan last year and playing out his contract, Nakajima became an unrestricted international free agent. He cost the A's nothing but the contract. Guy hits for avg, has tremendous range, decent arm and was fourth in slugging in the Japanese league. Better than paying Drew $10M per season that the Red Sox are pissing away.
