With Japanese pitcher Tatsuya Imai signing his cope with the Houston Astros, one of many two free agent plugs clogging up the offseason has been eliminated. The second and hopefully ultimate transfer to make earlier than the “free agent frenzy” can start is Japanese infielder Kazuma Okamoto. His deadline to return to phrases and signal a cope with an MLB staff is Sunday at 2 p.m. PST. If Okamoto doesn’t signal, he returns to his staff in Japan. The assumption is that with Imai and Okamoto off the board, groups which had been pursuing them and ready to see in the event that they landed both of them will start signing the glut of remaining free brokers.
Is without doubt one of the groups ready on Okamoto to make his choice the San Diego Padres? In case you consider varied reviews and social media posts the reply is, sure. Whether or not he indicators with the Padres may decide the remainder of their offseason, however at this level, nobody is aware of what the percentages are of San Diego buying the Japanese star.
