Translation - Toritani to the Royals? - Hanshin Tigers English News
Reports out of Kansas City yesterday (September 1) say the Royals are interested in acquiring the services of Hanshin Tigers infielder Takashi Toritani (33). Toritani became eligible for overseas free agency in 2012, but has elected to stay with the team the last two seasons. However, he also seems to have had his sights on moving over to the majors, as he has signed one-year contracts since then. It looks like the team will focus this off-season on getting him to commit to the team one more year.
