Cubs Getting a LOOGY from Japan?

Cubs.com reports:

According to Japan-based Sports Hochi, the Cubs are close to signing left-handed pitcher Ken Takahashi to a one-year contract. A Cubs official would not confirm the report.

The lack of a denial seems to indicate this is for real.

According to Japanesebaseball.com, Takahashi had some shoulder issues last Fall. Experienced as both a starter and reliever, Takahashi sports a career ERA of 4.23 over 1429.7 innings. More stats at the link.
