Shoemaker agreed to a contract Friday with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball, Sports Hochi reports.
After a rough season with Minnesota in which he posted an 8.06 ERA over 16 appearances (11 starts), the veteran right-hander will move overseas with the hope of extending his career. Shoemaker could consider a move back to affiliated ball if he fares well in Japan in 2022.
