Yankees pitcher Igawa returning home to Japan

Godspeed, Igawa. Hope your family is okay.

I do hope is family is also safe. Though his flying home may mean there are major difficulties for his family. It is good that he is putting his family first in this time of need.

Yes, all baseball concerns aside, I hope all is well with his family. Hopefully, all the unaccounted for will be found safe.

smith, JIJISAN, Mochiake - The Yankees said Igawa's family is OK.

"In the final season of a $20 million 5-year contract"

If Igawa gives the same percent of his income as I just did to the relief effort, he'll give $16,000. But he should give more, maybe around a million dollars?
