Pitcher Kona Takahashi’s posting period expires, his rights remain with Seibu Lions
NEW YORK (AP) — Japanese pitcher Kona Takahashi did not reach an agreement with a Major League Baseball team before his posting period expired Sunday and his rights remained with the Pacific League’s Saitama Seibu Lions.
A right-hander who turns 29 on Feb. 3, Takahashi was 8-9 with a 3.04 ERA last year for the Lions, striking out 88 and walking 41 in 148 innings. He had gone 0-11 with a 3.87 ERA in 2024 after compiling a 22-16 record in the prior two seasons.
Takahashi is 73-77 with a 3.39 ERA in 11 seasons with the Lions.
