And it's finally official! After what was purportedly a long drawn out process in which several teams were vying for the services of Japanese right-handed starting pitcher Sadahige Kawasaki, the Denver Brewers have prevailed and have signed the talented 26-year old to a 6-year deal which makes him the 4th highest paid player in the league for the coming season (behind Jesse Hartong, teammate Cheol-han Lee, and Jacksonville starter Reece Vaughan.)
The acquisition is seen around the league as a clear sign of the Brewers intentions to defend their WPK championship title with full force in 1975.
