Pitcher McGuff, who contributed to the league championship as a suppressor in professional baseball and Yakult, has signed a two-year contract with the major league Diamondbacks.
33-year-old McGuff contributed to the team's consecutive league title this season with 2 wins and 2 losses, 38 saves, and an ERA of 2.35 as a suppressor for Yakult.
He left Yakult in hopes of transferring to the major leagues after the season, and the major league Diamondbacks announced on the 15th that they had signed a two-year contract with pitcher McGuff.
According to the team, in the third year of 2025, both the team and the players have the option to extend the contract, and the American media reports that the contract is two years totaling $ 6.25 million, or about 860 million yen in Japanese yen. I'm telling you.
The Diamondbacks, based in Phoenix, Arizona, belong to the same National League West Division as the Dodgers and Padres, and finished fourth in the division with 74 wins and 88 losses this season.
The team will be led by Manager Robro, who has experience playing for Yakult during his playing days, and is aiming to advance to the playoffs for the first time since 2017 next season.
