The Nippon-Ham Fighters of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball have made center fielder Haruki Nishikawa available to Major League clubs through the NPB/MLB posting system, the Japan Times reports. Major League teams will now have a 30-day window to negotiate with the 28-year-old Nishikawa.

Haruki Nishikawa​

Positions: Second Baseman, First Baseman and Rightfielder
Bats: Left • Throws: Right
5-10, 160lb (178cm, 72kg)
Born: April 16, 1992 (Age: 28-232d)
Full Name: Haruki Nishikawa

The left-handed-hitting Nishikawa batted .296/.419/.388 with just five homers, 15 doubles and three triples this year, although he also swiped 37 bags in 42 tries. He’s posted an OBP of .378 or better in each of the past four seasons while striking out in 16.5 percent of his plate appearances against a 14.3 percent walk rate.

Overall, dating back to 2017, Nishikawa is a .291/.397/.401 hitter through 2433 plate appearances. He’s stolen 144 bases with an 87.8 success rate in that time. Nishikawa has three stolen base titles, three Gold Gloves in the outfield and a pair of All-Star nods

  MITCH HANIGEROF, SEATTLE MARINERS
  
  

  Mariners and OF Mitch Haniger avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.010 million contract.​

  Haniger had been projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to earn $3 million via arbitration, so it looks like the two sides worked out a fair deal. The 29-year-old is reportedly back to full strength and has recently resumed light baseball activities according to general manager Jerry Dipoto. He hasn't played in a big league game since June 6, 2019 due to a wide variety of ailments.

  DAVID DAHLOF, COLORADO ROCKIES
  
  

  Rockies non-tendered OF David Dahl.​

  Dahl is coming off another injury-plagued season, but it's still a surprise the Rockies are cutting him loose now since he was projected to make less than $3 million in arbitration. General manager Jeff Bridich has said that the team will not attempt to re-sign their former first-round pick. Dahl had surgery on his right shoulder in September but is expected to be ready for spring training. There will be plenty of interest in him.

im high on dahl...but who else would work..??..with moore always ready...

Tyler Naquin, OF
Naquin has two average or better seasons at the plate — his 2016 rookie year and 2019 — and is fine in a corner outfield spot. He struggles against left-handers but has a career .281/.329/.454 mark versus right-handed arms.

Starting Pitchers​

Jake Odorizzi, RHP
He missed time with a blister issue this past season but was very good in 2019 and has posted five average or better seasons over the last six full years. He’s as good a fit for a club looking for a mid-rotation level arm as there is.

Relief Pitchers​

Archie Bradley, RHP
Bradley’s arsenal fared well in 2020, including a plus changeup that produced a 39% whiff rate. He’s 93-96 with the heat, the curveball still is a weapon and it all adds up to middle-innings value.

Mark Melancon, RHP
Melancon has fought through a few injuries to remain productive and consistent in the late innings. He’ll be 36 in March, has closing experience, and there are few signs he’s fading fast. His cutter-curveball combo is fun, though the cutter was beaten to a pulp in 2019 and 2020, suggesting maybe he should go back to incorporating the four-seamer.

Joakim Soria, RHP
Soria had a terrific 22-game season in 2020, producing a 2.97 FIP and a WPA that projects out to be his best since 2015. He’s a legit four-pitch reliever with a fastball 91-94 mph, 77-80 mph slider, a slow curveball and occasional firm changeup. He’s 36, but should be good on a one-year deal.

Pedro Baez, RHP
Baez served in the middle innings for the World Champion Dodgers and had mediocre-at-best season, but he’s been better in years’ past. He’s a three-pitch arm — fastball up to 97 mph, above-average slider, fringe-average changeup. With a rebound in command, Baez is again a valuable middle innings option.

Alex Colome, RHP
Colome, 32 on New Year’s Eve, had an odd 2020, putting up his second-best WPA and FIP of his career while posting his worst strikeout rate (17.8%). Colome hovers around 95 mph and the cutter remains a plus pitch, suggesting a rebound in the bat-missing department may be in order.

Brad Peacock, RHP
Peacock is a versatile arm with the ability to spot start and cover multiple innings out of the bullpen. He had arthroscopic shoulder surgery in October, but expects to be ready for spring training. When he’s right, Peacock sits 91-94 mph with a two-seamer, complemented by an above-average slider, average curveball and useful changeup.

Justin Wilson, LHP
Wilson likely is out of the Mariners’ reach as one of the more consistent left-handed relievers in baseball. He’s 33 now, but coming off another strong year, and sat 94-97 with a solid-average cutter. But if he wants to close, Seattle may be able to offer that and gain a leg up on other suitors.

Greg Holland, RHP
The 35-year-old sat 92-95, threw 51% sliders and 11% curveballs in 2020 — and it worked. How long he can effectively throw 60% breaking balls and stay off the IL. But if he can, he’s a solid middle reliever with some high-leverage ability.
