Spencer Howard is signing with the Yomiuri Giants after a limited but effective 2025 with Rakuten and an uneven five-team MLB career.
Contreras is a former top pitching prospect who has spent parts of five seasons in the big leagues. He was a key part of the Pirates' return from the Yankees in the Jameson Taillon trade and found a bit of early success out of the Pittsburgh rotation. Things went off the rails in the 2023 season, though, and he has bounced around as a journeyman reliever over the past few seasons.
