The Buffaloes held their press conference for Bynum on Friday. He was assigned the number 5. No details on his contract yet. Bynum will likely spend some time at Ni-gun before making the jump to Ichi-gun.

According to Nikkan Sports, Bynum is expected to arrive in Japan on Thursday night. The Buffaloes will then hold a press conference at Kyocera Dome Osaka on Friday to introduce their newest addition.

Buffaloes' GM Yoshio Murayama returned to Japan on Tuesday and told reporters that the team and Freddie Bynum have agreed to basic terms and that a formal announcement will likely be made within the next few days.
I'll be updating this post with details as they become available.
How long was Bynum signed for, any idea?
Sorry, looks like I never got around to adding it in.
It was a one-year deal.
