SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Baseball officials are moving ahead with plans to play regular-season games in Tokyo in 2008.
The Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners are American League teams interested in playing in Japan next year, several officials have said in recent weeks. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres have expressed interest among National League teams.
Ichiro wins All-Star Game MVP

SAN FRANCISCO (TICKER) -- Ichiro Suzuki showed the Seattle Mariners they made the right choice.
On Tuesday, the Seattle Times reported the seven-time All-Star outfielder, whose contract was set to expire after the season, was about to sign a five-year contract extension to remain with the team.
Later that night, the seven-time All-Star went 3-for-3 with the first inside-the-park home run in All-Star Game history as the American League topped the National League, 5-4.
When asked after the game how many home runs the Japanese superstar could hit if he wanted, Suzuki paused.
"If I could hit .220, I could hit about 40, but nobody wants that," Suzuki said through his interpreter.
