Odor signed with the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Odor slashed .203/.299/.355 with four homers and 18 RBI across 157 plate appearances with the Padres last season before being released in late July. After failing to draw interest from other MLB clubs, the 29-year-old infielder will attempt to make a name for himself in Japan.

The Padres released Odor on Monday.
Analysis: Odor was designated for assignment last week and has now officially cleared waivers. Other organizations will probably have some interest in the 29-year-old, though he might have to take a minor-league contract. Over 157 plate appearances with the Padres this season, Odor slashed .210/.306/.370 with four home runs and two stolen bases.
