The Hiroshima Carp will post ace right-hander Kenta Maeda for Major League
clubs to bid on this winter, according to a report from Yahoo Japan (Japanese
link, h/t: Jason Coskrey of the Japan Times, on Twitter). Baseball America’s
Ben Badler tweets that he believes the Carp will set the release fee for
Maeda at the maximum $20MM, meaning interested teams will have to pay that
amount in order to secure the right to bid for Maeda’s services.
Maeda, 28 in April, is widely considered to be one of the best pitchers in
Japan. He just wrapped up a season in which he pitched to a 2.09 ERA with 7.6
K/9 against 1.8 BB/9 across 206 1/3 innings, marking his sixth consecutive
season with an earned run average of 2.60 or better. His excellent 2015
season netted Maeda his second Sawamura Award — Japan’s equivalent to the
Cy Young Award. With his relative youth, dominant track record and, of
course, lack of draft pick compensation, Maeda immediately becomes one of the
more intriguing arms on the free-agent market.
