ヤ軍に日本復帰を申し出てたって。

The Kei Market: Kei Igawa isn't quite as buried on that Yankees'
depth chart as Carl Pavano, but it's close. And he's already homesick.
We've heard from two different baseball men recently that Igawa asked
the Yankees over the winter if there was any way he could return to
Japan. The Yankees quietly explored their options, got nowhere and
gave up.
