Dodgers might run into billionaire in Taiwan
Lions Jia Yo: Who’s the New Guy?: Matt White
The estimated monetary amount of this rare mineral on White’s property is 2.5 billion dollars.
Without having seen this guy pitch, I already wholeheartedly endorse this signing for the Lions. In the gangster friendly, corruption ridden environment that is the CPBL, foreign players have always been easy targets. The guys who come here from abroad are usually at the tail end of their careers, just looking to wring a few more paychecks from their arm, glove, or bat. For most of them Taiwan is a place they will only ever spend a few months of their entire lives in. When offered a sizable amount of money to throw a game in a league you’ve barely heard of, in a country you’ll never visit again, it must be pretty easy to say ok.
Unless you’re a guy worth billions of dollars.
Good luck trying to bribe him.
Nishi has an offer from the independent Atlantic League, and will have a more formal tryout at the Dodgers camp in Arizona next week.
…
Nishi isn’t exactly a prospect given that he’s 38 and posted a horrific .159 batting average last year.
