*CPBL Draft News: Teams want to see Tsao's medical records but his agency said that they will only show it after Tsao gets drafted.
Tsao's agent Kelvin Lee told CPBL teams that he's in Taiwan & is available via cellphone at all times. However both Sinon Bulls GM Liu and a Liberty Times journalist calls went directly to voice mail and the calls were not returned. President Lions GM Jason Lin said that he'll need to see the medical report before drafting Tsao. Tsao himself doesn't care if he's the 1st pick in the draft or not; his agent Kelvin said that any team should consider spending money on Tsao and stated that even a small market team like the Nationals tried to sign Mark Teixeira - which is interesting since he used an example of a player represented by another agency.
CH Huang is concerned that he might not get drafted by a CPBL team so his agency - Bros is trying to find him a new college (he was expelled by Taichung PE college) in order for him to postpone his military obligation.
