View Article  Matsuzaka Update **Updated**
Here's the latest on Daisuke Matsuzaka according to the Associated Press:

Daisuke Matsuzaka headed to Boston on Wednesday with Red Sox officials, a sign Boston had reached a preliminary agreement with the star pitcher.

"They all took off together," Red Sox owner John Henry said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. Team president Larry Lucchino said shortly after noon EST that the plane was leaving California.

"You should assume a deal is close or done," an official with knowledge of the negotiations said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made. In prior days, agent Scott Boras had said he would not allow Matsuzaka to travel to Boston for a physical unless the sides had reached a preliminary agreement.
