Yankees Have Contacted Tanaka's Agent Casey Close

The Yankees are wasting no time with getting in touch with Masahiro Tanaka and his agent Casey Close as they have already had preliminary discussions with the agent. Yesterday was the first day that teams were allowed to negotiate with Tanaka  after being willing to pony up $20 million if they sign the player. The Yankees have until January, 24 to get him signed and officially on the 40 man roster so it's a great sign that we are not wasting any time.
