Hisanobu Watanabe, general manager of professional baseball Seibu, has announced that he has reached an agreement with veteran pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka next season.

It is expected to formally sign a contract by the end of this month.

General Manager Watanabe responded to an interview at the baseball team office in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture on the 13th, and as a result of having negotiated multiple times online with pitcher Matsuzaka who is staying in the United States, the contract for next season was agreed. I made it clear.

40-year-old pitcher Matsuzaka returned to Seibu in the old nest for the first time in 14 years this season, but due to the influence of having undergone endoscopic surgery on the cervical spine in July, he will rise to the mound of the official game including the 2nd army. I couldn't.



General Manager Watanabe said, "First of all, I'm in trouble if I don't have a body that can play baseball, and I know enough. I'm looking forward to it because I strongly said,'I want to go up to the mound of the 1st army next season.'" I was talking.
