Yu Darvish not interested in MLB

Darvish who is a star in Japan has no interest in coming to the majors of the US. The 21 year-old pitcher of Japanese and Iranian descent told me that he is happy to be in Japan. Who can blame him? He is at HOME, has a million dollar contract, his wife and son are there, and he has reached sex symbol status. Look to see him only in international competition like in this year's World Baseball Classic.
