Japanese players Teruaki Sato, Kaima Taira and Hiromi Itoh have entered the Major League Baseball posting system, making them available for negotiation with MLB clubs. The move was confirmed by the Associated Press on November 2, 2026.
The posting system allows Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) teams to make their players available to MLB organizations while receiving a transfer fee. All three players will now be eligible to sign with major league teams during the posting window.
