Former Yankees first baseman Luke Voit has signed with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan for the remainder of the 2025 season, concluding a deal that was anticipated for weeks. Voit, a fan favorite during his time in New York for his powerful hitting and charismatic personality, aims to revive his career after stints with the Padres, Nationals, and Brewers, and not appearing in a big-league game since mid-2023.
