Right-hander Ken Kadokura, who became a free agent from the Yokohama BayStars this offseason, will join the Yomiuri Giants after accepting a two-year contract worth 200 million yen plus performance-related bonuses on Thursday.
"They (the Giants) have shown that they rate me very highly," said Kadokura, 33, who is expected to be officially unveiled after the details of his bonuses are ironed out in the next round of negotiations.
