A’s statement on Iwakuma
The A’s this morning issued this statement in regards to landing negotiating rights with Iwakuma:
“The Oakland A’s are excited to have had our bid for Hisashi Iwakuma accepted by the Rakuten Golden Eagles. Out of respect for the posting process and for Mr. Iwakuma and his representative, we will not have any comment until the 30 day negotiation period comes to an end.”

Hi Jane,
I read that the A’s might get Adrian Beltre and Hisashi Iwakuma.
If they could somehow get both of them, then I think they could be contenders for the playoffs this year. Do you think that there is really a chance that they could get either, or both? I have a feeling that Mr. Wolf and Fisher won’t release enough money to Billy Beane to get it done.
