An interesting story over at MLB Trade Rumors overnight, citing and translating a Japanese language report out of Nikkan Sports. “The Diamondbacks have shown interest in Japanese pitcher Shintaro Fujinami, according to a report from Nikkan Sports. The report also lists the Giants and Red Sox as other teams in the mix but suggests Arizona is emerging as one of the favorites to work out a deal with the right-hander. Fujinami was made available to major league clubs via the posting system on December 1.” This gives teams 45 days to negotiate with the pitcher, otherwise he would remain under the control of his team.
