Bavasi Meeting Kuroda...in Japan?

The Mariners may send over their GM BIll Bavasi to Japan to talk with FA SP Huroki Kuroda to try and convince him to come over to the Coast. The Mariners have advantages in geography, their home park, and their current Japanese personnel, so Kuroda could be an easier target than say Kenny Rogers. Kuroda has had sucess in the JPL, and should do ok in the MLB.
