The Eagles announced today that they signed RHP Brandon Duckworth (36).  He has been assigned the number thirty-six and his contract will be worth an estimated 15M yen.

Duckworth also reported to the Ni-gun facilities on Sunday for his first day of workouts.  The Eagles held a press conference for him at Kleenex Stadium earlier today.

If things go well, Duckworth could make it to the active roster some time in mid-August.
