Wade LeBlanc was unable to get a contract he desired stateside so the right hander will take his talents to Japan for the 2015 season.
LeBlanc, 30, will earn $1 million from the Seibu Lions of Japan’s Pacific League with an additional $500,000 attainable though incentives.
Earlier this month the Angels non-tendered LeBlanc who appeared in 10 games posting a 3.45 ERA last season.
Congratulations to Wade LeBlanc on his contract with the Seibu Lions (@lions_official)!
