forcing a trade to the team he wanted, but in the end damaged his own career

as a not so old player, there's plenty of time to make choices later, important thing is building up and improving youself

supposed Irabu joined SD Padres, he might have helped them win a WS and really established as a solid pitcher in MLB without pressure of pitching in Big Apple, Padres reached WS in 1998, yes they lose to NYY, but Irabu was a non-factor, he got a ring, so what? Bateer also got one with Spurs, who cares?
whenever Irabu went to SD, he got booed

Yi would get the same treatment in Milwaukee, if he finds a way to NBA

traded to kings? he would be happy? on his level now can he guarantee startup in any nba team ? it's not worth it

his agent is killing the career of a promising player
