The starting pitching aisle of Major League Baseball's free-agent market is crowded, with Blake Snell, Aaron Nola and Jordan Montgomery taking up much of the room.
And then there's the right-hander who looms largest of all: Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
He doesn't have any major league starts under his belt, but what he does have is an electric arsenal of pitches and a veritable laundry list of accomplishments from pitching in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball and for the national team in the World Baseball Classic.
Oh, and he's only 25 years old.
What a player like this could be worth and which teams are fits require thorough discussion.
