The Kyodo News is reporting that it is officially a done deal.
The New York Yankees have agreed on a five-year, $20 million deal with Japanese pitcher Kei Igawa, baseball sources said Monday.
New York won the right to negotiate with Igawa last month with a $26 million offer, opening the way for the Hanshin Tigers left-hander to become the third Japanese to don the famed pinstripes.

bargain?
If you can think of the Japanese leagues as being at least at-or-above triple AAA level, I think you have to look at this as a bargain...especially since the posting fee does not count towards the dreaded luxury tax. Let's just hope that he doesn't turn out to be next season's Shawn Chacon.
