Masahiro Tanaka, a 32-year-old pitcher for the Yankees FA, has decided to return to Rakuten. The team announced on the 28th. Annual salary of 900 million yen + volume with a two-year contract. It exceeds the 800 million yen of the giant Sugano and becomes the highest in the Japanese field. Also, the uniform number was “18”. That day, GM and director Kazuhisa Ishii (47), who acted as negotiator, responded online.
The following, the same as the GM and the supervisor
-How did you feel when you asked your intention to join Rakuten?
Ishii GM and Director While the information was complicated, I think I was able to communicate with Tanaka firmly, wait for her choice, and give Tanaka a chance to think. There was some information that seemed decided, so there are so many things that break with that type of information. I was relieved when Tanaka contacted me today, “I will play at Rakuten”, and I think he firmly accepted his decision. Between them, when I decided to play on Rakuten for some time, I quickly prepared myself. From there, we discussed the contract and agreed.
-Contact me this morning
Ishii GM and Director That is correct. I started talking about contracts from there, and it didn’t take me long, so I think everything went well.
-Tanaka’s participation as a manager is a great strength
Ishii GM and Director A special piece that aims to win as a team. He is a special player, so I think he is very encouraging for the field. However, 10 years have passed since the earthquake, so I think it is a very special season for our team. I think having Tanaka there is very special for Rakuten and Tohoku. I am very happy to have been able to welcome you to Tanaka.
-It is natural to start on the starting pitcher of the season, but depending on the condition, will the starting pitcher be considered?
GM and Director Ishii I have come back from America and played in Japan, but I think I will come back with a solid performance that is incomparable to that. However, that is why it is not a world where you can win naturally. Even if I communicate with Tanaka, Japan and the United States are different when it comes to mounds, so I think it will be a season where we will fight while adjusting our fitness. I hope you answer firmly at camp.
-What is the meditation to join the camp?
Ishii GM and Director I think the first person will be able to come. I think you can come before the open game starts. After all, building a body has nothing to do with Japan and America, but I have to make adjustments in various ways, so I hope you don’t get impatient and watch the season closely.
-When did the negotiations begin?
Ishii GM and Director There is no particular presentation or set amount of money, and it is important that Tanaka’s manifestation of intent be in the United States or Japan first. When I was told that I was in Japan, I was ready to present the conditions firmly. I also have a network in the United States, so there are official people, not people involved in the world of the ball. Gathering information from that point, he was not out of place, and from the beginning he was in the middle of choosing various offers. I think it is very difficult to make a decision, so it is better to organize it. I wanted the person to be organized instead of presenting the conditions, so I didn’t present the conditions until I indicated my intention.
-The annual salary is
Ishii GM and the director’s money is not something I’m going to reveal. However, there is no question that it is the highest annual salary for a single person.
-How did you communicate your intention to join the group by phone?
GM Ishii and Director “Rakuten will take care of me. I will do my best to contribute to the victory.”
-We have vacated uniform number 18 and opened the facility to voluntary training Impact on the acquisition
Ishii GM and Director As with the attitude of the team, I think he knows well that there are fans in Tohoku who have supported his growth as a player. I think most of that was wanting to play.
-10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake
General manager and director Ishii said that this year is a special and really important 10th season, and he also said, “Of course that’s right,” and there was something I felt about that. I felt it. However, instead of speaking deeply to each other, I believe that being brought into such a special year is a moment that can only truly be a very special player.
-Does joining Tanaka lead to team growth in the medium or long term?
Ishii GM and Director, I think so. I think the greatest source of growth in the field, spices, comes from the stimulation of the players themselves. Between them, if I were a hitter, Asamura and the ground would come in, and I’d like to ask Tanaka for that as a new encouragement, but first of all I’m more important than people I think. I am seven years from Japan, so I have to catch several changes in the environment. I think you will receive that encouragement without permission because you focus on giving your own performance and the people around you only look at that attitude.
-Impact of Tanaka’s return on the Japanese sphere and society
General Manager and Director Ishii We are playing baseball in the midst of all the people who are going through a difficult time now. I think that Tanaka, a remarkable player, has decided to play in Japan because he is a player who can inspire and is in a special position, so he is brilliant not only in the world of the ball but also in society as a whole I think he will deliver. the news.
