The White Sox release Kameron Loe and Joe Thatcher ...
Texas Rangers pitcher Kameron Loe has become the latest major leaguer to leave for Japan, signing a two-year, $2 million contract with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of the Pacific League, said a baseball source.
The Rangers are selling Loe's rights to Fukuoka for an undisclosed amount. The deal is expected to become official Thursday afternoon.

Take Joe Thatcher as an example. He had a nice September run in 2007 with a small sample size that led the Padres to think he could do that again in '08.
The Padres weren't wrong for thinking it could happen again, though it certainly didn't.
