Yu Darvish

His mother is from Japan. His father is from Iran. A great baseball pitcher in Japan, many over there consider him “The Man”. What’s this latest news I hear? Major League Baseball wants to import him over here? Well, here’s a little bit of foreign intrigue. They want to pry him loose from the Japanese League. A few teams are interested in his services over here. The price to acquire him will be quite dear.

It's not exactly recent news. It has been rumored for at least the last few months that Darvish wants to play in the United States.
