Masahiro Tanaka, a veteran right-hander, has reached a deal with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball, marking a new chapter in his career.
Tanaka made his MLB debut with the Yankees in 2014 after a successful career with the Rakuten Golden Eagles, quickly becoming a top-10 free agent.
Despite a stellar debut, Tanaka evolved into a reliable mid-rotation starter over seven seasons with the Yankees, maintaining a 3.74 ERA and a formidable postseason performance.
After a pandemic-impacted 2020 season, in which Tanaka posted a 3.56 ERA, he's set for a new beginning in the NPB after an extensive MLB tenure.
