Major League Baseball announced on the 5th that Yoshitomo Tsutsugo was given a free contract.
Tsutsugo will become a free agent (FA) and will be looking for a new transfer destination.
30-year-old Tsutsugo joined the Rays from professional baseball DeNA the year before, and after working for the Dodgers, he transferred to the Pirates in the middle of last season.
