Tigers, Diamondbacks Interested In Yoshinobu Yamamoto
12 months agoThe Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks are among a wealth of teams interested in Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Typical clubs such as the Yankees, Dodgers, and Mets have rumored interest but what separates the Tigers and D-backs is their smaller-market belonging. Neither club has spent large amounts in free agency in recent seasons but the Tigers appear to be finally on their way up after a lengthy rebuild while the D-backs' surprising run to the World Series could spur some additional spending on the open market. The 25-year-old Yamamoto tossed a 1.21 ERA across 164 innings with Orix of the Japanese League in 2023 where he is a two-time Most Valuable Player.
