The Devil Rays posted the highest bid for the third baseman. Akinori Iwamura is the biggest name since Hideki Matsui to come out of Japan. He will be going to a great place to start his career, Tampa. He will be embraced by the quiet Devil Ray fans and will get a good taste of baseball in the AL East. The Devil Rays reportedly outbid the Indians, San Diego and Boston for the left-handed hitter.
