Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is considered to have a $300 million FA contract even though he did not throw a single ball in the Major League. It is the biggest FA player at this point in time when the recruitment of Shohei Ohtani (29, LA Dodgers) has ended. Bleacher Report said on the 17th (Korea time) that the clubs that match Yamamoto are the Boston Red Sox, LA Dodgers, New York Mets, New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants.
In fact, these clubs appear to have participated in the Yamamoto posting. It should be considered that they have contacted at least once. The Athletic Jim Borden also reported that San Francisco and Boston offered a $300 million contract. In this situation, it was reported that the Mets, who have been sending love calls for a long time, moved.
"Yamamoto had dinner at Steve Cohen's home," Bleacher Report said on Wednesday. "Cohen is running Full Coat Press to recruit Yamamoto." The New York Post said that Cohen served Yamamoto, including the Mets, at a dinner held at his home on the 17th.
It seems that Cohen naturally invited Yamamoto as he treated the Mets to a meal. There was no report on what kind of conversation the two had. If you were with the Mets, it would have been a natural time to build friendship rather than a deep conversation. 안전 토토사이트
There is no possibility that Cohen will directly negotiate anyway. The team's leadership will be in charge, and Cohen should be considered to have called Yamamoto along with Mets players to lessen the burden. Yamamoto can be burdensome if it is an invitation to eat alone. And it is quite scary to have a meal.
Yamamoto started posting earlier than Lee Jung-hoo (25, San Francisco Giants), but it has taken a long time to negotiate and agonize. Unlike the Korea-U.S. posting system, the U.S.-Japan posting system allows for 45 days of negotiation. However, since the posting began on April 21 and the deadline is January 4 next year, some reports say that a decision on the destination is imminent. The prevailing view is that the announcement will be made around the Christmas holiday.
