For a team that couldn't do anything right during the season, things sure seem to be going well for the Yokohama BayStars this offseason.
Yokohama had a horrible 2008 season, finishing 19 games behind fifth-place finisher Tokyo Yakult with a dismal 48-94 mark.
The BayStars have finished last in the Central League in two of the last three seasons and didn't seem to have much hope for next season either.
