In response to the decision to leave pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, who was aiming to transfer to the major leagues with the posting system from professional baseball giants, an agent met in the United States on the 8th, "I received a formal offer from 6 teams, but set Nothing reached the line I did, "he said, saying that he did not reach the contract.
Joel Wolfe of Wasserman Group, a major American agency acting on behalf of pitcher Sugano, met online on the 8th and talked about the process of the month-long negotiations of pitcher Sugano.
Among them, Mr. Wolf said, "The six teams made a formal offer to pitcher Sugano, and there were various contracts from two-year contracts to four-year contracts, but none of them reached the line we set. Finally, the deadline Two minutes ago, I told the general manager of the Major League Baseball team that he would remain the giant. It was a very difficult decision, "he said, revealing that he continued to negotiate until the deadline.
Also, during the negotiations, pitcher Kenta Maeda of Twins and pitcher Yu Darvish of Padres, who also acted as an agent for Mr. Wolf, also gave advice to pitcher Sugano by telephone.
He added, "I'm going back to Japan this time, but I don't think pitcher Sugano will regret this decision. I haven't had any arm problems so far and it's very difficult to find a great pitcher like him. Rather, each major league baseball team that did not reach a contract will regret it. "
