Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain in Japan
Takahashi has at least one major-league offer but could choose to remain in Japan, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Takahashi was posted by the Seibu Lions in November after posting a 3.04 ERA but with only 88 strikeouts across 148 innings in 2025 for the Lions. If he returns to Nippon Professional Baseball and has a better year in his age-29 season, he could attract more interest from major-league clubs next winter, especially without a posting fee attached. Takahashi's posting window runs out Sunday, so he'll have to make a decision soon.
