Tyler Kepner of The New York Times reports that the Angels and Hideki Matsui agreed to a one year contract today, pending a physical. The deal is said to be about $6.5 million dollars.

Assuming this goes through, we wish Mr. Matsui well. He's been a great Yankee - well worth the respective contracts he's received. A smart player and idle citizen, he's done pretty much everything we've asked for. Happy trails.
