Masahiro Tanaka

     The Arizona Diamondbacks nearly missed receiving who is called the best pitcher of all-time Masahiro Tanaka and Matt Garza. Masahiro Tanaka came from Japan to play in the MLB. The Arizona Diamondbacks made it very clear from the beginning that they planned on being in the hunt for Japanese ace Masahiro Tanaka. The news finally came Wednesday that Tanaka was headed to the New York Yankees. Tanaka signed a $155 million with the Yankees. The D-Backs simply could not afford such a player.
