Japanese RHP Kenta Maeda: Fangraphs - How much should you pay?

Would the Orioles post $20 million ?

Did we even think about posting for Ichiro, Yu, Tanaka, Kuroda, Dice-K, or any of the other top Japanese players that have gone through the posting process?

It was the old process which the organization apparently boycotted. The new one seems to be something we would consider.

There are a significant amount of teams that will be in on Maeda.

Prefer him to the majority of SP available. Pending the $$ and number of years, the $20 million release fee might be worth the price of admission.

What kind of bid would it take, 20 M?

$20M is the max. And if multiple teams post $20 then the player can negotiate with all of those teams.

Yes, Chen's replacement does have to be from an Asian country...

$20M is the max. And if multiple teams post $20 then the original team picks who to negotiate with.

Seems like an odd rule. Since the posting team is getting the same $20 million no matter which of the teams bidding $20 million the player signs with, why would the posting team be entitled to select which one team the player gets to negotiate with?

Have the Orioles ever posted for any players? It may not be public knowledge, but I don't recall them posting anyone.

To maximize their ability to get the $20M.

It doesn't seem to you that the player's representation would most certainly be seeking that very same thing, and would be quite likely in a better position to make that determination?

Ok I am wrong. If multiple teams post $20m he is allowed to negotiate with all of those teams.

This makes more sense.
