Yanks Interested in Ryota Igarashi?

There are reports this morning that the Yanks are one of the teams interested in Japanese RP Ryota Igarashi. Igarashi's 5'11" and, in his healthy seasons he's K'd about 1 per inning. His production fell off a few years ago, when it turned out he needed TJS, but this will be his third season back, so he should be fine in that respect. He has gained true free agency from the Yakult Swallows, so no posting fee will be needed to acquire him, should the Yanks decide to go that way. In general, I am against spending on middle relievers, so I'm against this from the start. Go Yanks!
