As Tomoyuki Sugano is set to sign with a Major League Baseball team before January 7 (that’s the deadline for him to put pen to paper, according to the rules) the Japanese pitcher, per outlet Hochi News, landed in the United States and is meeting with his agent. The New York Mets are one of several teams looking closely at the whole process.
The objective of the reported meeting is that the talented hurler examines the final offers from MLB teams, as he will make the transition from the Japanese league to the MLB.
