Jayson Stark of espn.com reported Thursday that the ex-Red Sox slugger had a tryout in Florida a few weeks ago for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, but, according to a source, "it didn't go well."
And why not?
"The Japanese don't like 'baggage' in a player," the source told Stark, "no matter how talented he might be."
