Justin Smoak To Sign With Yomiuri Giants

By Connor Byrne | January 6, 2021 at 9:09pm CDT

JANUARY 6: The deal is now complete and will promise Smoak $6MM, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network (Twitter link).

DECEMBER 29: Free-agent first baseman Justin Smoak is nearing a contract with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. Smoak will earn a guaranteed $6MM to $7MM if the deal goes through.

The 34-year-old Smoak divided last season between the Brewers and Giants (San Francisco, not Yomiuri) and posted a brutal .162/.250/.361 line with five home runs in 132 plate appearances. Smoak’s strikeout rate (31.8) was the second-highest figure of his career and a 10-plus percent increase over the number he recorded in 2019 with the Blue Jays. Considering his weak production from 2020, Smoak would have been hard-pressed to approach his agreement with Yomiuri in value had he stayed in the majors in 2021, so it’s no surprise the switch hitter is on his way to Japan to collect a larger paycheck and perhaps rebuild his stock for big league teams.

If this is the last we’ve seen of Smoak in MLB, though, he’ll go down as someone who had an up-and-down tenure at the game’s highest level. The 11th overall pick of the Rangers in 2008 and once among Baseball America’s top 15 prospects, Smoak has seen major league action with five teams (the Mariners are the other). Smoak was at his best in Toronto from 2017-18, when he slashed .256/.353/.495 with 63 home runs and a 128 wRC+ across 1,231 trips to the plate. He hasn’t come close to matching that form since then, however.

        If he does well I think his age, inconsistency, and platoon splits will make many clubs hesitant to bring him back even with a universal DH. Maybe a minor league deal, but I’d be surprised.

        Stranger things have happened, and if I’m wrong then good for him.

        Most AL clubs use the DH slot for rotation. It’s better to add another position player who can play the field, such as another OFer and rotate them through. That’s why Ozuna is a good DH candidate. You can plan to DH him but you can also put him out in the field when needed. Even the Yankees planned to rotate their OFers through the DH spot with Stanton before he became brittle. My point is I don’t think Smoak is DH material. A player needs to be Nelson Cruz or Stanton to block the DH slot full time.

          I would think he is mostly a glove and not a bat. He will probably make the club’s plan around him because he CAN put the ball a long way into the stands. Not sure what his D metrics were on the other teams but he was way better than his uzr and other stats said. I like the old fashioned eye test over some of those stats especially the D ones. I believe they have gotten better. Smoak was a decent defender in Seattle.

      He should have signed a minor league deal with the Mets. Obviously he won’t have a spot but if someone gets injured and he comes up for a little he would get the ring when the Mets win. He’ll have fun in Japan regardless. It’s a nice place and he’ll be elite.

    I was always so annoyed with Smoak during his first two years in Toronto. He was a low average, strikeout machine that made me pull out my hair. Then in 2017 he turned those around and became a favourite of mine on the team and I’ve been rooting for him since. I hope he crushes over in Japan and maybe we’ll see him again. If this is the end in North America though, it was a solid little career for a guy who seemed real nice and humble. I know that he’s really close with Kevin Pillar, maybe one day they’ll be teammates over there even.

        To be fair, the Rangers traded for a half season of a very average Cliff Lee. In 15 games with them he only won 4 games, going 4-6 with a 4 ERA… also picking up 2 losses in the World Series, albeit still a great year for TX with a World Series appearance! But no one seemed to “win” that trade.

          Wool E. Bull:

          To be fair? Your take wasn’t at all fair. And it’s exactly why most knowledgeable baseball fans do not judge a pitcher by W/L record, and use only ERA in context with FIP and ERA+, at least for the regular season. His FIP for Tex was 2.99, so the fault for that 4.00 ERA (which isn’t bad at all, BTW), is clearly shared by the defense playing behind him.

          Nice of you to cherry-pick what he did in the WS, and ignore the rest of the PS, where he went 3 and 2. It’s doubtful the Rangers even get to the WS without him. He pitched 16 innings over 2 games against the Rays for 2 wins, one was a CG. Then he shutout the Yankees in an 8 inning outing.

          Any pitcher can have a bad PS, just ask Kershaw. Max Scherzer didn’t fair well against the Giants in the 2012 PS. Verlander is 0-6 with a 5.68 ERA in the WS. The Rangers would make that trade again knowing what they know now, and by any estimation, they clearly won that trade.

          Lee also gave the Rangers some length they needed in the regular season. He gave them over 100 innings in his 15 starts, and his WHIP was only 1..06.

          There’s no doubt in my mind that my Rangers wouldn’t have made it to the World Series without Cliff Lee’s contributions. I’d make that trade again in a heartbeat.

          Smoak always had that run to where you thought he’d figured it out. Would come from nowhere them be gone after a few weeks or a month. (was what my bad pun up top was about)

          It was his third or fourth year here he started the season on fire was hot for a month then was lucky he had a decent glove. The announcers talked about how hard he worked. Zunino was just like that too. Maybe a flaw in development or called up to fast or both. They like to call guys up to soon. Hopefully they are patient with our young guys as much as we want to see them let them be ready.

      I figure the only competition was Smoak’s own leverage – Yomiuri having to convince him to move overseas. “If I don’t make x, I’ll just stay in the US with the career $30M I’ve made.”

      Other than that, I have no idea if he had other suitors in NPB… anyway from the comments looks like a 2-yr deal. Good for him

        Jaysfan, during that time Smoak admitted in an interview that he was seeing a counsellor and coincidentally his swing got real fast that year after 3000 at bats in the bigs. That doesn’t happen naturally. This two years are an outlier and anyone who knows anything about baseball knows that doesn’t happen naturally.

          jimmertee:

          It doesn’t sound as if you understand how steroids work. A swing doesn’t get faster just from taking a steroid. Steroids work by healing the body faster, allowing strenuous workouts more often. Guys can lift weights every day, instead of the usual every other day. But the player still has to do the work, steroids or not. The added muscle mass does not suddenly go away when steroids are discontinued. If his bat was faster after taking steroids his bat should have still been fast.

          Those two years, when he averaged a 127 OPS+, are not the outlier you make them out to be. Those happen to be the years he was most healthy. And looking at his age it’s reasonable those were the peak years of his prime. But he also had a 113 OPS+ in 2013, and a 105 in 2015.

          He was a streaky, eradicate hitter, who put together a couple of nice, but not great seasons, and seemingly fell of a cliff at age 33. Anyone who knows anything about baseball knows that does happen quite often.

          Adderall use is rampant among MLB players, so Smoak could hardly be singled out on that front. Adderall use also doesn’t explain why he only had one great year like you seem to want it to, since we can safely assume 2017 wouldn’t have been the only year he was taking it.

          Adderall, a stimulant by the way, would greatly help his reaction and how well he can see the ball. He’d be able to make split second decisions on whether to swing or not a lot easier. His brain, on overdrive, would also have an advantage on the cat and mouse at the plate.

    That feels like an oddly massive guarantee for an MLBer headed to Japan, with Smoak’s good but not great track record. He’s an average power hitter with a low batting average.

    How’d he get $6M? Guys who sign these deals tend to get like $3-4M over there, it seems.

    Good for him, though!

      It does seem like a lot for a Japanese-league team to pay. His bat should play well there if he hasn’t aged out. His recent numbers aren’t good, so it’s possible he’s done. Dropping down a level to a slightly less competitive league won’t necessarily mask a slowing bat.

      He wouldn’t get $6M in MLB at this stage, so he is no doubt happy to find another pot of gold over in Asia. If he has a big year, some MLB will have interest in 2022.

    This is a great move for two reasons: he’s going to make some good money, and he’s going to get out of the United States for a while.
