Professional baseball Rakuten Wheeler and giant Ikeda trade June 25, 17:58
In the professional baseball/Rakuten, an exchange trade was established with Wheeler, who has hit a total of 106 home runs, and the giant left pitcher, Hayao Ikeda.
Wheeler, who transfers from Rakuten to Giant, is 33 years old and is an infielder with a lot of power. In 2015, he joined Rakuten from the major league Yankees and hit 31 home runs in the third year, marking 106 home runs in total over the last five years. Even the characters with love today have been loved by local fans in Sendai.
On the other hand, pitcher Ikeda, who transferred from Giant to Rakuten, was 27 years old in the fourth year of the professional, and as a relief on the left, he pitched 62 games in total and left an ERA of 3.86.
Both Wheeler and Ikeda haven't participated in one arm so far this season, but between the giant who aimed to get the right hitter to give the baton a thicker line, and Rakuten who aimed to strengthen the left pitcher. An agreement has been reached and an exchange trade has been established.
Wheeler commented through the team, “Thanks to the team for the opportunity to play in this way in Shintenchi. I will never forget the time I spent in Tohoku as a member of Rakuten”.
In addition, pitcher Ikeda also commented through the team, "I will do my best to meet the expectations of Rakuten who got the chance".
