Tanaka left at roughly the same age and scored 7 years $155. And I doubt the NPB could get away with holding an American players rights for over the 6 years. Who was the last pitcher to get $155 million with 4 years left before free agency?

No one but thats one pitcher and really there's only ever been about 5 pitchers that have ever warranted that kind of money through the posting system so he would have join that top esculan of all time international prospects for that to come to fruition. Meanwhile three pre-free agency pitchers signed deals this offseason that will give them 10 million per season over the next four to five years. 

the posting system applies to all players in the japanese league, american or not and the more you pay the player, the more you give the league. But its their choice to post you. Again, I'm sure he will leave when he wants to, but its an added hoop that teams will have to jump through and does affect how much you will get.

But there's no real precedent to go on here so there's really no way to know how this will all shake out. He could very well have padded his pockets here but I see it as a bigger gamble than he probably needed to take and was probably pressured into this by his agent who is trying something out. (in case it doesn't come off this way, I really don't like scott Boras) I will be very interested in knowing what the MLB tonight guys have to say about this.
