At the Associated Press writes about Dave Williams and him signing with the Yokohama Baystars:

The Yokohama Baystars said Friday they have signed three US players including New York Mets pitcher Dave Williams, who spent much of last season on the disabled list.

The Central League team, who have not won a pennant since 1998, said they reached a one-year contract with 28-year-old southpaw Williams.

Williams has a 4.83 ERA with 22 wins and 31 losses in his six-year Major League career, most of it spent with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
