Red Sox Make a $6 Million Offer for Tazawa

The Red Sox have offered Japanese amateur free agent pitcher Junichi Tazawa a $6 million contract. From NPB Tracker:

Sanspo is reporting that Red Sox VP for international scouting Craig Shipley spent 1 hour 50 minutes negotiating with Junichi Tawaza, resulting in a $6M contract offer. No word on whether it’s a major league deal or not.

The deal could end up being a great bargain for the Red Sox if Tawaza is half the player he is hyped up to be.
