Apparently, Rangers starting pitcher Yu Darvish is a jokester. Darvish released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying he was joking earlier in the day when he said he felt the Yankees overpaid for fellow Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.
"I am sorry if anyone took my comment seriously about Masahiro Tanaka at the press conference today," Darvish said in a press release. "I assumed by the reaction in the room that everyone knew I was joking."
