Nikkan Sports reports 1 year, 1.5 million, 3 million in incentives...! Will wear #18, also known in Japan as The Ace Number.
M's are said to be announcing officially today with a press conference. Iwakuma is training in Tokyo and will be calling in.
The report called the M's offer inferior to ones offered by the Orioles and the Athletics, but made Iwakuma want to prove himself more.
Apparently, Iwakuma also had a meal with GMZ and fell in love with Seattle, reminding him of his current town of Sendai, Japan.
