While it is yet to be decided where Yoshinobu Yamamoto will go, fans are impatient. At this point, any information about the ace would be valuable intel. That said, what better way to dig deeper than exploring the Orix Buffaloes’ star’s social media? As a result of the exploration, fans extract positive signs. 

As important as it is to be familiar with players of MLB as a debutant, these could be signs of more than just building a relationship. Could this also mean that the Yankees “are in a solid position in this sweepstakes”? Though there has been no official report about the advancements in this situation, fans took to social media to do a deep dive and get as many insights as possible on the ace.

The fans conducted an in-depth exploration of Yamamoto’s social media following

One such instance was when fans figured out that he follows a few notable names, including the captain Aaron Judge, former pitcher CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka from the New York Yankees on his Instagram profile. This might be an orientation attempt to New York.

The Yankees faithful are not ones to stay silent. Though the franchise owners have chosen not to break their silence on this matter yet, the fans took to social media to draw insights. They might have found some. One fan was surprised by the level of deep dive the fan base went to.

Another fan was sure about him coming to New York.

There was another fan who shared more information about whom he was following.

Some fans said that despite that, the tables could turn. Taking Shohei Ohtani’s case, for example.

Another name that came up was that of Marwin González, a Yankees’ icon.

While Yankees fans are not ones to shy away from spitting facts, the MLB journalists are a step ahead in revealing the potential union of the two parties.

Could The New York Yankees Succeed In Getting Yamamoto?

In the thick of the off-season, where news is yet to unfold on this big Japanese star’s acquisition, SNY’s Andy Martino reported the talks of Yoshi’s potential meeting with the Yankees on Monday. Martino also reported that Bombers’ outfielder Hideki Matsui and pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will accompany the team to this meeting. Though there has not been any update on whether there will be a meeting or not, it could be that things are looking up for the Yanks. And “Hal Steinbrenner and co. are in a solid position in this (Yamamoto’s) sweepstakes.” 

There has been a brilliant success in the past with Japanese players in the Bronx. The most recent examples include Matsui and Tanaka. The team could definitely use this ace’s help in 2024 considering their performance in 2023. The 25-year-old’s arm is considered being the best arm available during this free agency cycle. Having said that, multiple team names have been linked to this pitcher. Those names, apart from the Yankees, include the New York Mets, the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
