JAPANESE pitcher Kenta Maeda moved a step closer to playing in Major League Baseball yesterday when the Hiroshima Carp agreed to post him.
Under the posting system, MLB teams can earn the right to negotiate with Maeda for 30 days by agreeing to pay Hiroshima a maximum fee of US$20 million. The 27-year-old right-hander is a two-time winner of the Sawamura Award given to Japan’s top pitcher. Maeda matched a career high in wins this season with a 15-8 record and a 2.09 ERA. He is not eligible for free agency until 2017. Maeda first asked Hiroshima to post him two years ago, but the team declined.
