Probably going to end up in Seattle (strong Japanese population) or San Francisco.

Thinking Seattle too. Just from a baseball perspective, there is a crying need for him as a pitcher and they have room in their OF. Dipoto also strikes me as the type of GM who is going to be cool with the pitching and playing OF act.

Putting my money on Seattle

I’ve had Seattle since before this sweepstakes began given that they are a west coast team, can give him an opportunity to both hit and pitch, and have a good history with Japanese players. I’d be happy to see him playing in Seattle.

Please please please come to Seattle

Small market team is awesome. Happy to hear that. Not so happy the Jays are out but it was a long shot anyway.
