According to Japanese media reports, the Nippon Ham Fighters, Shohei Otani’s team, Have announced that they will indeed post the two-way star to make him available to MLB teams. While this is not new in and of itself — we’ve known for some time that the team had agreed to post Otani — the fact that they’re posting him means they’re pretty confident the last wrinkle in the process has been ironed out. Or at least that it will be.
Shohei Ohtani moves another step closer to MLB, as the Nippon-Ham Fighters announced they will post the two-way player this offseason, according to Japanese news reports.
