Franmil Reyes has opted to stay with the Nippon Ham Fighters of Japan for the 2025 season.
Hat tip to MLB Trade Rumors. We were rather hoping the 29-year-old Reyes would return to the U.S. after an excellent Japanese debut in which he finished second in the Pacific League with a .912 OPS and in homers with 25. He hit .290/.348/.564 in a league that batted just .241/.303/.347 on the whole. Still, since he’s not much of an outfielder, his market would have been limited to teams interested in a full-time DH.
