Dice-Kid won’t keep Matsuzaka away from season opener

Barring any complications, the Red Sox expect Matsuzaka to be in Japan for the season opener vs. Oakland.

Dice-K’s wife, Tomoyo, is in the very late stages of one of the most heavily publicized Boston pregnancies of all time, falling just behind those of Bridget Moynahan and Hester Prynne.

The baby is due on March 19th, and at this point it seems unlikely that Matsuzaka will be in attendance for the exhibition games on March 21st and 23rd. He is planning to travel separately, and should be with the club when they open the season vs. the Athletics on March 25th.
