Lefty John Bale signed with the Hiroshima Carp, reports Kyodo News. Bale will earn about $109K for the Carp in 2010. He spent three years with the club prior to his two-year, $4MM deal with the Royals signed in December of '06.
Bale, 36 in May, posted a 5.72 ERA in 28.3 innings for the Royals last year. He dealt with a hyperactive thyroid and a hamstring injury, and was released a few days before the non-tender deadline.
Ummm who cares ??
The Hiroshima Carp fans.
Don’t care? Don’t post.
The Carp haven’t been very good since the late 80s early 90s. Then of course, you are in the same league as the Giants.
talking about a step down in salary , well good luck over there ha
