Rougned Odor Heads To Japan
11 months agoFree-agent second baseman Rougned Odor has signed with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball on Saturday. Odor will take his talents overseas to Japan after playing 59 games in the big leagues for the San Diego Padres in 2023, where he slashed a weak .203/.299/.355 with four home runs and 18 RBI in 157 plate appearances before he was released in July. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger never made it back to the big leagues with another team to close out 2023. Odor will go to Japan hoping that a solid season overseas will get big-league teams interested in him again in 2025. Over 10 years in the majors with the Padres, Rangers, Yankees and Orioles, Odor has hit .230/.288/.422 with 178 home runs and 568 RBI in 1,154 career games.
