Sanspo: Ryota Igarashi considering a return to the NPB

The Tigers are tracking Ryota Igarashi (33) because they feel he might be able to step in as a closer next season. They were prepared to wait on Igarashi because there were reports he was not quite ready to give up on the MLB, but the media learned on Monday that he is considering a return to the NPB next season.

So basically if there’s a player returning from MLB, the Tigers are interested. Is that it?
Do they even need to keep scouts on the payroll?
‘Do they even need to keep scouts on the payroll?’
Nope.
I think we’re interested in picking up Nomo too, we heard he’s left the Dodgers and his experience could help our young pitchers.
