In 2007, Iwamura signed a three-year contract worth $7.7 million with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays after expressing his interest to play in the United States. His first year was a shaky one, as Iwamura, a power-hitter in Japan, had to adjust to the larger ballparks in the U.S. In 2008, his future with the Rays came into question based on the meteoric rise of prospect Evan Longoria through the minor leagues. When Longoria was promoted to the majors in April 2008, Iwamura was moved to second base. -
