YUTA
WATANABE
Oct. 9, 2018 - The Grizzlies have a number of bodies to man their forward positions so it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Japanese rookie Yuta Watanabe would crack the rotation on a consistent enough basis to warrant a contract conversion. The two-way forward will instead be limited to a developmental role and just 45 days with the big league club.
