Free-agent right-hander Kenta Maeda announced on Wednesday that he will return to his native country of Japan in 2026 to continue his career. Maeda made his debut in the big leagues in 2016 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and pitched for the Blue until 2019 before short stints with the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers. The 37-year-old veteran spent the last two seasons with Detroit and was demoted to a bullpen role in 2024. He only made seven appearances out of the bullpen for the Tigers this past season, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits (one homer) while walking six and striking out eight in eight innings pitched. Maeda also pitched at the Triple-A level in 2025 in the Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees organizations and wasn't very sharp, posting a combined 5.40 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 100 innings. There's a good chance we won't see Maeda in MLB again.--Keith Hernandez
