With the shortage of available talent this off-season, Fukudome and pitching star Hiroki Kuroda were given much attention, as their performances in Japan earned them much interest from several ball clubs. Kuroda signed a multiyear deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers worth approximately $35 million, while Fukudome signed a four-year contract with the Chicago Cubs somewhere in the range of $12 million/year. Will these players transition well when they enter the MLB?
