Left-hander Adam Conley is headed overseas in 2021 to continue his playing career, according to Craig Mish, agreeing to terms with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). It’s presumably a one-year deal.
Conley had spent all 10 of his previous professional seasons in the Marlins organization. They drafted him out of Washington State University in the second round of the 2011 amateur draft. He debuted in the majors four years later. The lean southpaw was selected to Miami’s 2020 Opening Day roster, but didn’t get a chance to appear in any regular season games before testing positive for COVID-19.
