Apologies for hijacking this thread. A youtube channel called The Frilled Shark "covers and discusses international baseball with a focus on lesser-known places and players. I also talk about the San Francisco Giants and sometimes other bay area sports." Today he posted an interview with Yuri Karasawa (aka 'Yakyu Cosmopolitan' on twitter and youtube) who I never knew was a SF Giants fan. Lengthy video at nearly 2 hours with talk about the Giants (2025 review, off season needs), this winter's Japanese player postings as well as possible future Japanese players who may end up in MLB.
