(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Gyeong-yoon = Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano (32, Yomiuri Giants) has given up on advancement to the MLB Major League Baseball.
Japanese media such as Daily Sports reported on the 8th that “Sugano suspended the posting schedule and renewed the contract with Yomiuri.”
Through the Yomiuri club, Sugano said, “I heard many people’s stories in the United States.” I got off.”
Prior to this, MLB.com announced the news of Sugano’s return to Yomiuri in Japan.
The Yomiuri team did not disclose the details of the contract with Sugano.
However, The Athletic said, “Yomiuri offered Sugano a four-year contract worth $40 million. It also included three opt-out clauses that allowed him to become a free agent again after each season.”
Sugano, who struggled between staying with Yomiuri in Japan and advancing to the major leagues in the U.S., expressed his gratitude to Yomiuri for promulgating the “opt-out clause to obtain free agency status every year.”
Sugano said, “I am grateful to the Yomiuri club for allowing me to apply for the post. I will play hard with the goal of recapture of the Japanese professional baseball team next season.”
Sugano is the best ace in Japanese professional baseball, with an average ERA of 14-2 and 1.97 last season. Last season, he won the title of many wins and the highest odds and won two crowns.
He aimed to advance to the major leagues by posting, and many MLB clubs are known to have proposed specific terms and conditions.
Sugano went to the United States to confirm the interest of the major league club.
However, the final decision was to remain Yomiuri.
