Lim Close to Yakult Return

by Patrick Newman (Nov 12, 2010)

Sports Hochi had reported that Yakult closer Chang-Yong Lim is close to a deal to return to the Yoyogi area of Tokyo. Here's what his agent had to say: "We've arrived at an agreement (on terms). It's not 100% but we're 90% there. They've rated these last three years very highly." It's said to be a three year deal worth a total of 1.2 bn yen (about $15m at the current exchange rate), so Lim will join Kyuji Fujikawa and Hitoki Iwase among Japan's most highly paid pitchers. This also means that Lim will be off the market, so Yomiuri will need to find a different replacement for Marc Kroon.
