[OSEN=이선호 기자] The salary of the retired star Seung-yeop Lee’s Yomiuri days is being summoned.
Japanese professional baseball Yomiuri Giants’ ace Sugano Tomoyuki, 32, has become the NPB’s highest salary. On the 14th, Yomiuri announced that it had signed a one-year contract with Sugano for 800 million yen (about 8.46 billion won). In the 2020 season, 150 million yen rose from 650 million.
In 2003 and 2004, Sugano surpassed the 720 million yen received by Yomiuri ganpatator Roberto Petazini, becoming the highest salary ever in Japanese professional baseball.
At the same time, the salary that the retired Lee Seung-yeop received in Japan is also being highlighted. Lee Seung-yeop transferred to Yomiuri from Chiba Lotte in 2006 and made a big success as a fourth hitter. He batted 30,2 penny and 3 ri, 41 home runs, and 108 RBIs. After the season, he signed an ultra-large contract of 3 billion yen in 4 years.
Nikkan Sports introduced players who earned more than 600 million yen per year in NPB. Among them, Seung-yup Lee received 650 million yen in 2007. In history, it was tied for fourth place with finisher Kazuhiro Sasaki. The players who received more salaries than Lee Seung-yeop were Sugano, Petageni, and Sapate (Softbank, 700 million yen).
At the time, Lee Seung-yeop received public praise for his jackpot contract, but he could not repay sexually. I struggled with a thumb injury and attack on the body. In 2007, he scored 27 pounds, 4 ri, 30 home runs, and 84 RBIs, but failed full-time for the next three years and ended the contract with only 8 home runs, 16 home runs and 5 home runs, respectively. He moved to Orix in 2011 and returned to Samsung in 2012. /[email protected]
