It could be a very, merry Christmas for teams interested in Tanaka. Ben Badler of Baseball America (http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/will-rakuten-an**unce-a-masahiro-tanaka-decision-on-christmas/) cites Japanese media reports suggesting, because of Tanaka's schedule, if a decision to post him is an**unced before the end of the year it could come Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. The deadline to post any Japanese player is February 1.
