Winning Suarez to leave Hanshin Softbank December 19th 15:58
Professional baseball / Hanshin announced that it has acquired Roberto Suarez, who left Softbank only for this season, to strengthen the relief.
Suarez is 28 years old from Venezuela.
Joined Softbank in 2016 and played an active part in the 58th game as part of the transitional team from the first year.
However, after the surgery on the right elbow, he did not shake, but this season of the 4th year, when he turned to the starter, threw in 9 games and ended up with 4 wins without stars.
Hanshin wants to reinforce the relay team that has become sluggish due to the acquisition of experienced Suarez pitchers, as Johnson and Doris pitchers who were active in relief resigned only for this season.
According to the team, the contract with Suarez is one year and the annual salary is estimated at 80 million yen.
Suarez commented, “I am still confident that I can do it physically. I want to do my best so that the team and fans can say that I ’m glad to have signed with me.”
