The Tigers and right-hander Kenta Maeda have agreed to a two-year contract, ac
cording to Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). ESPN’s Jeff Passan repo
rts that Maeda will earn $24MM in guaranteed money, and Evan Petzold of the De
troit Free Press writes that the deal will be official Monday should Maeda pas
s a physical. Maeda is represented by the Boras Corporation.
老虎正式以两年24M 到全额保障合约签下了日籍投手前田健太。
Reports emerged earlier this week linking Maeda and the Tigers, though the Twi
ns (Maeda’s former team) maintained interest. Minnesota will now have to dea
l with Maeda as an opponent on a division rival, as Maeda will join the third
team of his Major League career.
之前有报导说老虎对前田有兴趣，不过前田健太的母队双城也对他有兴趣，最后前田还是
前往同区的老虎。这也是继道奇跟双城之后，前田的第三支大联盟球队。
