Rays second baseman Akinori Iwamura hopes to return to the team next season. The team holds a $4.85 million option on him for next season, but Iwamura has interest in talking with the club about a new deal at a lower price. "Nobody knows about next year, and I'd like to stay here but I have no control over it," Iwamura said through interpreter Bori Uchibori. "This is the last game of the season but at the same time I'm very happy to be back on this team and overcoming those injuries, and I'm happy about that."
