Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Baseball's Hottest Free Agent
Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the highly sought-after Japanese ace, has begun accepting formal contract offers from MLB teams, with the New York Mets expected to bid on him soon. During recent meetings, contract parameters were discussed, but no serious offers were made. The Mets anticipate Yamamoto making a decision by Christmas. The 25-year-old pitcher has also met with the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Red Sox, and Phillies. Yamamoto could potentially command a contract worth over $300 million. The Mets are positioning themselves as a team where Yamamoto could be their ace, while the Dodgers have tried to sell him on not living in Shohei Ohtani's shadow.
