Major League Baseball Reds announced on the 5th that Shogo Akiyama has made a free contract.
Akiyama will become an FA = free agent and will be looking for a new transfer destination.
The Reds announced on April 3 that they would remove Akiyama from the 28-player limit on the MLB bench, but on April 5, they announced that they had made Akiyama a free contract.
33-year-old Akiyama was a kid from Seibu, a professional baseball player, and joined the Reds with a three-year contract. ..
This season, I repeated trial and error by changing the shape of the bat and trying a no-step hitting form that does not raise my foot in order to hit a stronger ball, but in the open game the batting average was 10% 8 minutes 2 ㎘. I was staying.
Akiyama had a way to demote to a minor league team under the Reds and aim to be promoted to the major league again, but the free contract made it possible to negotiate with other baseball teams including Japanese professional baseball, and it is new. You will be looking for a good transfer destination.
Akiyama said in an interview on the 3rd, "I have one or two options, but I don't think it will take much time to make a decision. I think there will be options to go to major league baseball and do it in various places. I want to make a firm decision so that I won't regret it. "
