Let me add to the spot-on post of Infinite Justice
"Darvish has been among the most successful pitchers in the league since his debut in 2012, having won three ERA titles in 2013, 2015 and 2016."
This is wrong. Yu Darvish did not win ERA titles in 2013, 2014, 2015. The winners in A.L. were Jose Fernandez, Johnny Cueto and Jake Arrieta. (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_annual_ERA_leaders)
Doesn't Japan Today have an editor to fact check these articles? This is an embarrassment.

N. Ham had the option of not posting him for a while longer.
It remains to be seen how much money they will get in posting fee from posting Otani as a new agreement between NPB and MLB is still in the works.
