Fantasy Impact:
This news is certain to increase the intensity surrounding Yamamoto negotiations as the best player on the planet happens to be both Japanese and a fellow free agent in Shohei Ohtani.

His contract is likely to well exceed the $200 million barrier while roughly half the league is reportedly interested in his services.
