According to Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Daisuke Matsuzaka wants to pitch for the Padres.
Matsuzaka struggled mightily after returning from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in 2012, compiling a 1-7 record, 8.28 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 11 starts for the Red Sox. But he has told the Japanese media that he likes the idea of pitching in San Diego, and a one-year incentive-laden deal might make sense for both sides.
