Free agent projections are out from Fangraphs and ESPN, and so it is that time again — time for the “should the Rangers sign This Player?” series of offseason polls.
Today we are looking at pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is being posted from the NPB.
At Fangraphs, Ben Clemens has Yamamoto at 7 years, $196 million, while the Median Crowdsource is at 7 years, $175 million. Kiley McDaniel at ESPN has Yamamoto at 7 years, $212 million. Note that, under the posting system, the signing team also has to pay a posting fee.
