NEW YORK (AP) -- As the Yankees kept talking about trading Randy Johnson,
they finalized their $20 million, five-year contract with Japanese pitcher
Kei Igawa on Wednesday.

    星期三,在洋基談論著交易R.J.的同時,他們完成了與Igawa的五年2000萬美金合約.

The Yankees had until Thursday to complete an agreement with Igawa after
bidding $26,000,194 last month for the right to negotiate with him. The
left-hander went 14-9 with a 2.97 ERA and 194 strikeouts for the Hanshin
Tigers last season.

   在洋基以26,000,194美元標下Igawa的議約權後,他們必須在這個星期四前完成與
Igawa的議約.Igawa去年在阪神戰績為14勝九敗,防禦率2.97,三振194次.

New York must pay the bid fee to the Tigers by Jan. 4.

The 27-year-old Igawa figures to fit at the back end of a rotation that
includes Chien-Ming Wang, Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte. New York also has
oft-injured right-hander Carl Pavano and a couple of touted pitching
prospects in Philip Hughes and Humberto Sanchez.

    27歲的Igawa可以應付已經有王建民,Mussina,Pettitte的先發輪值表後半部.洋基
還有受傷的Pavano和一些如Hughes,Sanchez的新秀.

The Yankees are discussing dealing Johnson, with the Arizona Diamondbacks and
San Diego Padres the chief contenders for the 43-year-old left-hander, a
disappointment during his two seasons in New York.

    洋基還在討論把去年兩季令人失望的R.J.交易走.響尾蛇與教士是目前主要參與討論
的隊伍.

Igawa visited New York last week, took a tour of Yankee Stadium and had his
physical. He gives the Yankees two Japanese player, joining left fielder
Hideki Matsui.

Igawa gets $4 million each year and can earn $500,000 annually in performance
bonuses: $125,000 each for 180, 190, 200, 210 innings pitched. He would be
eligible for arbitration after the 2011 season, and free agency after the
2012 season.

    Igawa每年的薪水400萬美金,每年還有50萬美金的表現獎金:投球局數超過180,190,
200,210各可以收到12萬五仟美金的獎金.
    Igawa2011年後可以薪資仲裁,2012年後是Free Agent.

New York's biggest rival, the Boston Red Sox, bid $51.11 million for
negotiating rights to Japanese ace Daisuke Matsuzaka this offseason and
signed him to a $52 million, six-year contract.

Igawa, who tied for the Central League lead in strikeouts last season with
194 after winning strikeout titles in 2002 and 2004, has said he is already
looking ahead to possible pitching duels with Matsuzaka, the MVP of the
inaugural World Baseball Classic.
