| YU Darvish |
The tender closed on Wednesday and the Commissioner's office in the United States said its Japanese counterpart notify the amount of the highest bid, but not the identity of the MLB team that made it.
The Ham Fighters have until 5:00 pm EST on Tuesday to accept. If the offer is accepted, MLB announced the team that won the rights, and the team will have 30 days to agree a contract. The bidding fee shall be paid only if an agreement is reached with the agents of Darvish, Art Tellem and Don Nomura.
A pitcher for 25 years and 6'5''tall, Darvish is considered the best pitcher in Japanese professional leagues. Maca had 18-6 with 1.44 ERA and led in strikeouts with 276 last season.
