Mets sign 3B Norihiro Nakamura:
[quote]Trying to keep pace with their cross-town rival, the New York Mets appear to have landed a Japanese star of their own.
Newsday reported Friday that the Mets have agreed to a two-deal, $7 million deal with power-hitting third baseman Norihiro Nakamura, one day after the New York Yankees agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal with Japanese star Hideki Matsui.
Pretty soon you'll be able to field an entire team of Japanese players. OF (Ichiro, Matsui, Shinjo, Taguchi), IF (Nakamura), P (Nomo, Ishii, Sasaki, Hasegawa, Komiyama, M.Suzuki, Yoshii).
