The Tokyo Yakult Swallows have reportedly signed RHP Pedro Avila
Avila is the 3rd foreign reliever who'll be joining the Shinjuku outfit this offseason, joining Mike Baumann and Peter Lambert
Avila has a better MLB CV than the previous 2, so he should make the team out of camp
It's out. For real this time, I swear
The Top 10 Center Fielders in NPB History
There are currently 4 open spots on the Fighters 70-man, so Micah and the other Dev. Contract players are gonna be showing out this spring to try and get their contract upgraded.
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters have signed Micah Yonamine to a development contract.

He looks to be the replacement for C.C. Mercedes
The Chiba Lotte Marines have signed RHP Austin Voth
Voth (32) has some success as a back of the rotation starter with the Orioles in 2022, and figures to slot in as a mid-to-back of the rotation arm in Chiba.

The Top 10 NPB Left Fielders of All-Time
The Chunichi Dragons have signed RHP Yunior Marte
Marte, who was a mop-up man for the Phillies last season, was signed by the Mariners to a minor-league deal earlier this offseason.
The Dragons will be buying out that contract.
@yakyucosmo.bsky.social had it first
The Chunichi Dragons have signed RHP Nash Walters
While he's only pitched 1/3 of an inning at the MLB level... in 2022, Walters has the tools to succeed, he just needs to put it all together.Chunichi hopes they can do that.
He profiles as a reliever.
The Washington Nationals have signed Shinnosuke Ogasawara to a 2 year deal, with financials yet to be released.
Ogasawara gets his wish and gets off the Dragons.
The 27 year old hopes to bounce back after a mediocre season.
With the #BlueJays in the thick of the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes, @jneginshecter.bsky.social and I are joined by @gaijinbaseball.bsky.social on the Bird's Eye View Podcast to break down Toronto's chances, learn what makes Sasaki tick, how the other finalists stack up and much more:
The Orix Buffaloes have signed OF Edward Olivares
Olivares, who is coming off a down year with the Pirates, had two years of decent offense with the Royals, and has a career wRC+ of 93 in the majors.
The Buffaloes haven't had a plus season from a foreign bat since 2018.
The Saitama Seibu Lions have signed Tyler Nevin, son of former Angels manager Phil Nevin
The younger Nevin (28), has 12 homers and an 81 wRC+ at the MLB level, but had a 141 wRC+ in AAA last year.
I'm a day late, which is basically an eternity in the modern sports media landscape, but the Saitama Seibu Lions have signed RHP Trey Wingenter
The Orix Buffaloes have reportedly signed RHP Domingo Acevedo, with terms yet to be released.
Acevedo spent 3 years in MLB with the Oakland A's, but spent last year with Charros and Leones in the LMB, where he only pitched 9 innings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly signed Kiwoom Heroes infielder Hye-seong Kim
The contract is reportedly a 3 year, $12.5 million deal, with options that could extend it to a 5 year, $22 million deal.
Naver's Sang-il Jeon had it first
Aren Kuri will be wearing 22 with the Orix Buffaloes.
He may also start going by his English name, Allen.
The number was previously worn by Ryota Muranishi, but he has since been demoted back to being a development player.
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters have re-signed Drew VerHagen to a 1 year, ยฅ350 million contract ($2.2 million USD)
This'll be VerHagen's 4th season with the Fighters
You almost never see starter-caliber players traded in NPB
Mimori is a solid middle infielder with a decent bat and blinding speed, Hamaguchi is a solid if yet unremarkable back of the rotation arm.
This is basically a blockbuster by Japanese standards.
A rarity of rarities for NPB:
A trade featuring recognizable players
The Yokohama BayStars have acquired middle infielder Masaki Mimori from the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks in exchange for LHP Haruhiro Hamaguchi
