Nixon to China? No, Kapler to Japan

·1 min

So Gabe Kapler, sculpted bodybuilding backup outfielder, is moving to this side of the world. Well, I guess Dave Roberts can teach him the language.

Seriously, though, seeing the world while you’re young and getting paid millions ($2 million, plus undisclosed and probably immense signing bonus, plus all living expenses) for it? Not a bad deal at all. Especially if Kapler wants regular paying time.

Thanks for 2004, Gabe. Come back to the Sox anytime.
