Japanese Team Interested in Marcus Thames
Via the NPB Tracker, Sponichi is reporting that Japanese team, the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, are interested in signing Marcus Thames.
Thames, 33, had to sign a minor league contract with the Yankees last season just to find work in America. After putting up a 122 OPS+ last season he probably wouldn’t have to go through that again, but it is very possible that he could get both...

That has been a rare weak link in the Yankees’ lineup, and Marcus Thames’s outfield deficiencies created the need for a right-handed hitter who plays better defense. On days Kearns starts, he will play left field, moving Brett Gardner...
