Fukudome Receives Another Offer

By Tim Dierkes [November 14, 2007 at 10:54pm CST]

MLBTR readers know that Kosuke Fukudome already received two offers from his former team, the Chunichi Dragons. One was for one year, about $3.5MM. Another was four years, around $15.4MM. Plus, the Hanshin Tigers are expected to offer four years, $20MM (the money they received from posting Kei Igawa a year ago).

This evening, Ken Rosenthal adds that the Yomiuri Giants have also made an offer to Fukudome. Rosenthal's source says Fukudome is completely undecided right now about whether to stay in Japan, and a decision should come after Thanksgiving.

1/3.5M?! 4/15.4M?! 4/20M?! Wow, Fukudome must not be into money if he stays in Japan. He's bound to get 4/40M in the states.

Ok well call me crazy but...
I want the Red Sox to sign Fukudome. Everyone will call me an idiot but I don't care.

Sign Fukudome to play LF.
Put Manny at DH.
Play Papi at first full time.
Move Youk to third.

I just don't see a lot of offers out there and even though this 100% won't happen, I like it.

*Not offers, it's supposed to say Options.
