Tomoyuki Sugano, looking to make the move to MLB after a 12-year stint with the Yomiuri Giants, is apparently being courted by the San Francisco Giants as well.
a leading suitor to land the Japanese free agentSugano, 35, spent the last 12 seasons with Nippon Professional Baseball's Yomiuri Giants. In that time, he was named an All-Star eight times, earned two Central League MVPs and won two Eiji Sawamura Awards – the NPB equivalent of a Cy Young.team by the same name — the San Francisco Giants — are among the teams evaluating Sugano, 35, now that he has global free agency rights this offseason. Sugano has gone 136-75 with a 2.45 ERA, 1.
Yomiuri posted Sugano in December 2020, but he did not reach an agreement with an MLB team before his posting window closed in January 2021. Even though he had enough experience to circumvent the posting system the following winter, Sugano elected to remain in Japan again. While Sugano looks to be leaving those Giants behind, he could wind up with their sister club on the other side of the Pacific.
