Ryoma Nogami, who exercised his domestic free agency option after nine seasons with the Seibu Lions, has decided to sign with the Yomiuri Giants, a source familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
According to the source, the 30-year right-hander, who matched a career high with 11 wins this past season, notified the Lions of his decision on Monday.
Nogami joined the Pacific League team as a second-round draft pick in 2009 and has gone 53-56 with a 4.03 ERA in 207 games.
