$9m over two years to put up less than a replacement player.
Id say this stands as a strong contender for least shocking move of the first day of the offseason.

Easy decision since Fujikawa’s potential production can be easily replaced by a Minor League arm. I would have liked to see him healthy. He had some filthy years in the NPB. Still, it’s disconcerting that so many of the Japanese pitchers are having elbow trouble. The mound angle and firmness are different in MLB than in Japan and I wonder if that’s leading to the problems pitchers are having in the U.S.—and if it will be a continuing trend?
