After hitting a grand salami in Japan, Matsuzaka is heading to Arizona to begin training for next season. Terry Francona talked about him with the media yesterday:
“We kind of put the gloves down and told him how we felt and he told us. I think it was really good for everybody. We had probably gotten to the point where we needed to have pretty direct conversations. And from him to us, also. I think it was good.” Theo Epstein: “We’re going to have a full infrastructure in place for all our Japanese players and a full infrastructure in place for all our pitchers. Daisuke will work with our training staff and work with our pitching coach.”
