Major League Baseball Red Sox pitcher Takuichi Sawamura is out of the 40-man quota of his Major League contract and is effectively out of the force.
This was revealed by a team official on the 28th.
34-year-old pitcher Sawamura joined the Red Sox last year from professional baseball Lotte, and this year was the last year of his two-year contract.
He is known for his straights in the late 150km range and sharp vertical splits, and has pitched in 49 games so far this season with a record of 1 win and 1 loss and an ERA of 3.73.
In the Rays match on the 28th, he pitched three goals in one inning, but according to the team, pitcher Sawamura was notified after the game that he was out of the 40-man quota of the major league contract and was effectively out of the force. .
In the future, Sawamura will be waived and will transfer if there is a team that wants to acquire him, but if there is no hope, he will be a free contract or remain with the Red Sox and play in the minor leagues.
The Red Sox are currently in the bottom of the American League Eastern Division with 62 wins and 66 losses, making it difficult to advance to the playoffs. There is also a good possibility that they will want to acquire pitcher Sawamura, who has marked results, and future trends will be watched.
