Darrell Rasner asked the Yankees for a trade. His agent told them that he wanted to play in Japan. So, they listened to him. They sold his contract to the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, a club in central Japan. His agent informed the Yankees of his decision on Saturday and he is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Golden Eagles.
Rasner made 20 starts for the Bronx Bombers last year going 5-10 with a 5.40 ERA. He joined them after being virtually unhittable in Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barry. He started off going 3-0 with the Yankees but then his stats dropped off the rest of the year when he went 2-10, eventually being demoted at the end of the year. He probably did not factor into the Yankees 2009 rotation but could've served a role as a long reliever or a fill-in starter ready to go in Triple-A.
