Japanese Free Agent Round-Up: Kawakami, Takahashi, Saito

Patrick at NPB Tracker has an interesting update on some notable Japanese free agents.

• If the Braves are in fact interested in Kenshin Kawakami, they may have to beat an eventual three-year, $21MM offer from the Red Sox.
• Omar Minaya thinks Koji Uehara projects as a starter, and future negotiations will be based on that projection.
• The Mets are the frontrunners for signing Ken Takahashi.
• The Dodgers would've been willing to do a $2.5MM deal plus incentives for Takashi Saito, but he did not accept that.

NBP Tracker has the source links, which are in Japanese. Kudos to Patrick for keeping those of us that can't read Japanese in the know.
