Yoshinobu Yamamoto 25 of Orix Buffaloes officially began the posting process.
MLB, the official media of Major League Baseball, said on the 21st, “According to the official, Yamamoto was officially posted and Major League teams were also notified.”

Yamamoto’s team, Orix, officially announced that it would allow Yamamoto to post shortly after finishing second in the Japanese Series. Yamamoto, who does not have a large physique, but throws a fastball of up to 160 kilometers per hour and a variety of sharp breaking balls, is considered the biggest FA pitcher beyond Blake Snell, who won this year’s National League Cy Young Award.
MLB said, “Major League teams can negotiate with Yamamoto for 45 days from 8 a.m. Eastern time. The deadline for negotiations is 5 p.m. on January 4 next year. Therefore, we will soon know in which team Yamamoto will start his major league career,” he explained the posting schedule.
The biggest FA fish this winter is Shohei Ohtani, who won two unanimous MVPs for the first time in major league history. This year, he batted .344 151 hits in 497 times at bat with 44 home runs and 95 RBIs OPS 1.066 in 135 games and 10 wins, 5 losses and a 3.14 ERA in 23 games 132 innings as a pitcher. Ohtani’s expected contract, which soared to $600 million about 772 billion won, has decreased slightly because he could not take the mound as a pitcher next year after undergoing elbow surgery in September, but the prevailing view is that he will sign a contract worth $500 million about 643.3 billion won for the first time in Major League history.
MLB said, “We know Ohtani is the No. 1 FA. However, Yamamoto may become the most important FA player this winter. “This is because we can see how much Yamamoto wins before Ohtani and many other players sign large contracts,” he predicted. The Athletic, a U.S. media outlet, also analyzed that Ohtani is wise to check what happens to Yamamoto. Reporter Ken Rosenthal said, “The situation could be better for Ohtani because the teams that missed Yamamoto have no choice but to focus on Ohtani.”
Aaron Nola, who was considered a big pitcher in the FA market, agreed to renew his seven-year, $172 million contract with his original team Philadelphia on the 20th. Yamamoto’s contract size is likely to easily surpass Nola.
MLB said, “Yamamoto is expected to sign the largest contract among FA pitchers this year. It is probably around 200 million dollars about 257.4 billion won. Reporter Mark Paynesand explained, “Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Sonny Gray, and other top starters are waiting for Yamamoto to set the standard for the winter pitcher market.”
Currently, clubs known to be interested in Yamamoto include the Mets, Yankees, Boston, Dodgers, Cubs, Philadelphia, Seattle, Texas, San Francisco, St. Louis, Arizona, and Detroit.
