The Dodgers continue to show interest in Japanese free agent pitcher Kenta Maeda, per Jon Morosi of Fox Sports.
There doesn't seem to be a real sense of urgency, with Maeda having a 30-day posting window to negotiate with MLB teams and agree to a contract, a period that expires on Jan. 8 at 5 p.m. ET per Morosi. Most times, the higher-end posted players from Japan or Korea tend to wait until at or near the deadline to sign.
Among posted pitchers with a release fee of at least $20 million, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Yu Darvish and Hyun-jin Ryu all signed on the 30th and final day of their posting period, while Kei Igawa signed on the 29th day in 2006.
