Yomiuri Giants, manager Tatsunori Hara, fell in love with the news of Ace’s stay.

According to the Japanese media Sports Hochi on the 8th, coach Hara welcomed Sugano Tomoyuki’s stay, saying, “It is reliable to be able to do it together.”

Earlier, Sugano gave up his major league challenge and chose to stay in Japan. On this day, the US and Japanese media reported that Sugano’s big league contract was not successful, and said, “We will sign a contract with Yomiuri for 4 years for 40 million dollars (about 43.7 billion won).

Sugano, who is considered as the representative ace of Japanese professional baseball, was initially discussed the possibility of going to the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants.

However, when he couldn’t get the contract he wanted, he turned to stay. Instead, the contract with Yomiuri included an opt-out clause after the season, leaving room for another big league challenge in the future.

This is good news for Yomiuri. This is because Sugano, the ace, accounts for a large portion of the team’s abilities.

Yomiuri, who has been humiliating for the last two years in a row in the Japanese series, has been resolving his determination to recruit active major league hitters such as Eric Thames and Justin Smoke. It is an evaluation that even Ace Sugano remains here and has an opportunity to maximize power.

The command tower was also halfhearted. On this day, coach Hara was pleased with “the best situation as a coach,” and expressed anticipation, saying, “Sugano is the pillar of Yomiuri. We are happy and trustworthy to fight together. I hope you will take the lead and lead the team.”
