Is Masahiro Tanaka Going To Be Pitching In A Major League Baseball Starting Rotation In 2021?

In Masahiro Tanaka’s inaugural season in Major League Baseball in 2014 with the team that wears the pinstripes he had a record of 13-5 with an earn run average of 2.77. In 2015 his second season with the team that wears the pinstripes the Japanese right handed pitcher had a record of 12-7 with a 3.51 earn run average.

But could 2020 have been his last time pitching for the team that wears the pinstripes or in a Major League Baseball Starting Rotation?

Right now I don’t have an answer to that question!

What I do know is that Masahiro Tanaka is advancing negotiations to remain in Japan and return to his original team, the Rakuten Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball while he has said that he is considering all opportunities, but offers from Major League teams have proven scarce. Earlier this month, the 32-year-old disputed a published report that claimed he was entertaining only the Yankees and Japan, saying on Twitter, “We are not limiting the teams we want to play [for].” “according to an article on mlb.com by Bryan Hoch”
