According to the insider of MLB John Heyman, the office of Big leagues has informed his franchises that as of tomorrow the Japanese superstar gardener Seiya Susuki will be available for negotiations.
After having received permission from his team, the Hiroshima Tents and the Japanese League (#NPB), Seiya Susuki will become a player available to negotiate in the major league free agency starting tomorrow, Monday.
The news marks the starter pistol with practically all MLB interested in getting the services of the Japanese outfielder (or at least ask JA prices). Susuki swept the Japanese League this season leaving the line of OBP (436), SLU (644) and OPS (1079), with 87 tickets received, 11 intentionally, in addition to his 38 HR (the 3rd highest harvest of the league).
Susuki, is also considered an elite glove and the $ 40-50 million for about 4 years that is said to be looking for, is practically a bargain for all organizations of MLB just in a year where outfielders are in short supply in free agency.
So nothing, maybe that explains why Susuki is allegedly intended according to rumors by up to 7 different teams of MLB: Padres, Red Sox, Seattle, Rangers, Mets, Phillies, Braves … and those who join in the next few hours.
MLB has notified our clubs that outfielder Seiya Suzuki will be posted as of tomorrow morning. Signing deadline is 5:00 pm (ET) on Monday, Dec. 22.

According to our forecast, the Red Sox will end up taking their services, but others favor Seattle for having Ichiro as a possible hook in the negotiations, while some more close the deal for Rangers.
Officially, until tomorrow the teams of MLB They will be able to have contact with Susuki so we’ll see how the rumors unfold.
Where do you see it?
This is outfielder Seiya Suzuki who will be a free agent soon. I have hit 38 home runs last season.
I would be excited if the Nationals made a push for him but they are never in this market
