Boston was among six teams to meet with the 25-year-old, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. The other clubs reportedly interested in Yamamoto are the New York Yankees, New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies. Feinsand added the right-hander "could make his decision in the next few days."
Yamamoto must sign before his posting window expires on Jan. 4. The Yankees are viewed as the favorite to sign him, according to multiple insiders. But Mets owner Steve Cohen could throw in an aggressive bid to secure the star pitcher. Yamamoto is expected to sign a contract between $200-$300 million.
