Is Sho Nakata worth “150 million”? “Extraordinary treatment” that even giant fans will be amazed at: J-CAST News[Full text display]

Professional baseball giant Sho Nakata faced negotiations for contract renewal at a baseball team office in Tokyo on December 7, 2021, and signed a contract renewal negotiation with an annual salary of 340 million yen this season, a decrease of 190 million yen (150 million yen). All amounts are estimated). Each paper reports.

The reduction limit of 100 million or more is 40%, but the salary is significantly reduced by 56%. The combined results of Nippon-Ham and Giants are .177 batting average, 7 home runs, and 20 RBIs in 73 games. I can’t help it because I didn’t shake it at all.

Due to scandals, the transfer of giants could not meet expectations

I haven’t been feeling well since the opening of Nippon-Ham, and I have experienced demoting the farm. The result on the ground is a serious game. Many fans expected that the second half of the game would “rewind” only for the players who have a track record such as winning the RBI three times.

However, a violent incident against a junior player was discovered, and on August 11th, the match was suspended indefinitely. In this case, trust in Nakata was lost. And even more shocking news is the trade transfer to the Giants announced on the 20th of the same month.

Moreover, it is immediately appointed by the 1st army without any adjustment by the 2nd army. “Why can a player who has been suspended indefinitely by Nippon-Ham fight as a giant?” Was flooded with criticism. It would have been in Nakata’s ears. I felt that my big back was getting smaller, and I lost confidence in my facial expression.

There was no sharpness in the swing, and far from being responsible for cleanup, I couldn’t live up to my expectations by going back and forth between the 1st and 2nd armies.
