TOKYO (AP) -- Norihiro Nakamura shunned an offer from the New York Mets and decided to remain in Japan, re-signing with the Kintetsu Buffaloes on Saturday.
Nakamura would have been the second Japanese slugger this week to come to New York to play in the majors. Hideki Matsui agreed to a $21 million, three-year deal with the Yankees on Thursday.
Instead, the third baseman turned down a $7 million, two-year offer from the Mets to stay with Kintetsu, Kyodo News service reported.
Nakamura, who reportedly will receive about $30 million over five years from Kintetsu, was scheduled to hold a news conference on Saturday.
"It's tough to join the major league. Good luck to Matsui," Nakamura told Japanese TV network Fuji.
Nakamura hit .294 with 42 homers and 115 RBIs last season for Kintetsu of Japan's Pacific League.
In Japan, he was also courted by the Hanshin Tigers after he turned down an offer from the Yomiuri Giants last month.
