According to an Andy Martino report, Masahiro Tanaka is asking for a one-year deal worth $15-$20 million to return to the New York Yankees.
Tanaka has been one of the Yankees’ most consistent pitchers during his seven-year tenure in New York. His career ERA sits at 3.74 with a 120 ERA+ and a 4.42 FIP. In 1054.1 career innings, Tanaka’s punched out 991 batters and walked 208 while averaging 8.4 hits allowed per nine innings.
Despite his numbers being above league average, it’s growing increasingly likely that Tanaka won’t be a Yankee in 2021.
