The Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan (Masahiro Tanaka's old team) have announced that they've signed 2015 Pirates pitcher Radhames Liz to a one-year deal. He'll apparently make about $815,000.
This will mark the first time Liz has pitched in Japan, but it hardly seems like a surprise that he's headed there -- just in the last three years, he's pitched for teams in Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, New Hampshire, Buffalo, San Pedro de Macoris and Seoul, so he's become awfully well traveled.
The Pirates declined their option on Liz earlier this month. He pitched 23.
