MLB Rumors: Seiya Suzuki, free agent outfielder of the Hiroshima Carp of the NPB, is expected to be posted this winter, which would allow all thirty MLB teams to seek to sign him. According to Jon Morosi, the Texas Rangers are “seen as one of the most serious suitors” for Suzuki by other teams.
Suzuki is a righthanded power hitting corner outfielder who just put up a .319/.436/.640 slash line in 2021, and who has not had an OPS lower than 936 over the past six years. Having just turned 27 in August, Suzuki is young enough that a team signing him would be expecting to be able to land his prime years, while he is also old enough that he is not subject to the international free agent spending limits that players who are under 25 are subject to.
