Hiroki Kuroda - Brooks Baseball Player Card
Hiroki Kuroda will be a huge part of the New York Yankees rotation this season. He discussed some of his reasoning for making the move from Los Angeles to the Bronx.
Kuroda said he received offers from five or six major-league clubs. With the Dodgers out of the picture, he said, he narrowed his choices to two: the Yankees and the Hiroshima Carp of Japan, for whom he pitched for 11 seasons.
Kuroda said he had better financial offers than the one from the Yankees. Kuroda will earn $2 million less than he did last season with the Dodgers.
“They have an incredible tradition,” Kuroda said of the Yankees. “They contend for the championship every year. I wanted to play for a team like that. When you get to my age, you don’t know how much longer you can pitch and I wanted to experience that before my career ended.”
