Yu Darvish, the Japanese pitcher who endured a nightmare World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers last year, has received a contract offer from Major League Baseball's Milwaukee Brewers, according to multiple reports Monday.
The 31-year-old right-hander tweeted a Japanese report of the deal with a thinking-face emoji while MLB's website also reported the Brewers had submitted a contract to consider.The club has not commented but the Brewers could use pitching help with ace Jimmy Nelson working his way back after right shoulder surgery last September.
Darvish has a 3.42 earned-run average over 131 starts in five North American campaigns. He went 10-12 with a 3.86 ERA in 31 combined starts last year for the Dodgers and Texas Rangers, striking out 209 batters over 186 2/3 innings.
The Houston Astros pounded Darvish in the World Series, however, taking him for nine runs on nine hits and two walks over 3 1/3 innings in two starts for the Dodgers that each ended abruptly in the second inning, including the decisive game seven.
