“The United States and Japan are in an uproar over the rumor that Urias is heading to Japan.


Rumors of former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias (28) entering Japan have recently become a hot topic on social media. Not only the United States and Japan, but also Mexico paid close attention, and some media outlets even reported on it. However, it ultimately turned out to be not true. The source of fake news was pointed out as Korea.

On the 29th of last month (Korean time), a mention was posted on X (Twitter). It is reported that negotiations between Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, where Lee Dae-ho played, and left-handed starting pitcher Urias are progressing. Urias is currently a free agent, but judicial proceedings are underway in LA on charges of domestic violence. Therefore, the explanation that major league teams were reluctant to make the choice for fear of public backlash was also supported.

This post quickly spread and attracted attention. In particular, several Spanish-language media outlets based in LA expressed interest in reporting this fact. This is because it is an area where many Mexican immigrants, Urias's native country, and Dodgers fans live.

However, it was soon confirmed that this was not true. Media Marca America reported on the 1st, 'Currently, Urias is not negotiating with MLB teams or other countries. 'We will be waiting until the legal situation is resolved,' the report said. The media also reported, 'A Japanese YouTuber specializing in baseball said that the source of the news was a well-known troll (in the community),' and that 'the user who posted this also posted an apology.'
