It remains to be seen if Masahiro Tanaka will pitch in the Major Leagues next season, but people are already speculating about his value.

One general manager doesn't think there is any doubt that Tanaka would sign a contract worth at least $100 million.

The Rakuten Golden Eagles don't want to post Tanaka yet, but the right-hander told the club earlier this week that he wishes to pitch in the United States in 2014.
