Jackson signed with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball on Friday.

After three seasons in Major League Baseball, Jackson will ply his trade in Japan, where he might be able to work as a starter. The Pirates released Jackson last month to allow him to pursue this opportunity. Still just 27, Jackson could theoretically return to the majors down the line if things go well for him in his new venture.
