From ESPN in part:


Meanwhile, the Red Sox are in negotiations to sign another Japanese
pitcher.

Hideki Okajima is in serious discussions with the Red Sox about a
two-year deal, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports. The
30-year-old left-handed reliever, who was 2-2 with a 2.14 ERA and four
saves last season for the Nippon Ham Fighters, is a free agent.


I greatly enjoy that the Japanese have a team called the Ham Fighters.

Corporations own Japanes Teams, and they are Properly the Nippon Ham
Fighters, owned of course by Nippon Ham.
