In a stunning reversal, standout pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will have a chance to
leave his Japanese team to move to the majors next season.
Philadelphia Eagles
Jersey . It was during a news conference Wednesday that Rakuten
disclosed Tanaka will be made available through the posting system. Rakuten
didnt have to release Tanaka, as he has two years left on his deal with the
Golden Eagles. Tanaka compiled a 24-0 record with a 1.27 ERA in 28 games (27
starts) during the 2013 regular season and helped lead Rakuten to the Japan
Series title. The 25-year-old has recorded a 99-35 mark with a 2.30 ERA in 175
games (172 starts) since joining Rakuten in 2007. He has 53 complete games,
including 18 shutouts, and will be a hot commodity for any major league club who
wants to pony up enough money to sign the right-hander. Under new rules set this
offseason, the cap on the posting fee was set at $20 million. Teams need to
commit that much money to negotiate with Tanaka for up to 30 days, but clubs who
do not secure a deal to get the righty will have their cash refunded. If a
contract is worked out, the $20 million will go to Rakuten. The New York
Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly among the clubs
who are prepared to get into a high-bidding war for Tanaka. He was reportedly
paid $4 million last season, but Tanakas annual salary will likely get a
significant jump once he signs with an MLB team. The new rules, which are
somewhat similar to how European soccer players transfer teams, were put in
place to avoid what happened when the Texas Rangers signed pitcher Yu Darvish
away from the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. Darvish had a posting fee of $51.7
million and then the Rangers signed the pitcher to a six-year, $60 million
contract. Prior to the 2007 season, the Red Sox got Daisuke Matsuzaka for a $51
million posting fee from the Seibu Lions and then inked the Japanese hurler to a
six-year, $52 million pact. Before the $20 million posting limit took effect,
the MLB team that offered, on a blind bid, the highest posting fee could
negotiate for 30 days with a specific club. If a deal couldnt be reached by the
deadline, the player would remain in Japan for another season. Instead of one
team negotiating with the player under the former system, all clubs that pay the
posting fee, this one of $20 million for Tanaka, can try to work out a contract.
