The Yankees won the bidding for Japanese SS Hiroyuki Nakajima. The winning bid was in the $2M range and now they have 30 days to negotiate a contract. There is a good chance the Yankees will sign and trade him.

It's has been a very quiet off-season for the Yankees. Sounds like the Yankees are out of the bidding for Japan star pitcher Darvish. The winning bidder to negotiate with him looks to be either the Jays or Rangers with a bid over $50M. Way too much to spend on a player just to get the rights to try and sign him.
