DALLAS (AP) — The New York Yankees have won negotiating rights to shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima of the Seibu Lions in Japan’s Pacific League.
Major League Baseball announced Wednesday the Yankees had the highest bid in the posting process. New York has 30 days to reach an agreement with Nakajima and will pay the posting fee only if an agreement is reached. The posting fee for the 29-year-old is about $2 million.
