Tanaka is said to have signed a two-year contract with the highest annual salary of 900 million yen in NPB history plus volume, which far exceeds the 800 million yen annual salary for pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano this season (amount estimated). That day, he said, “we have a two-year contract, but at the end of the year we will have the opportunity to speak with the team.” Two years is just a guarantee given to Tanaka by Rakuten, suggesting that Tanaka may return to the majors this year if he so wishes.

Tanaka said: “(Going back to Rakuten) was not something like sitting down, I really wanted to get the best in Japan and I really wanted to play for the Eagles. I don’t think I can succeed in any world with half-hearted feelings.” I don’t want to completely abandon the option (to go back to the specialty) because I think I have fallen behind in the United States, “he said quietly.” What I left in the United States “is Tanaka’s goal from the beginning of his great transfer, “Show up in the World Series and win the championship ring.”

Tanaka, who scored 78 wins in total over seven years for the Yankees, was off last season and became his first FA. “When I became a free agent, I honestly wanted to rehire the Yankees and play, but when I found out through my agent, early on, this was a different path. I felt like I had to go,” he recalled.

Whether it’s transferring to another team or returning to the Japanese baseball world, he says, “I thought about it like never before and got rid of my worries.” “In the end, I thought about what kind of environment I wanted to play in and what kind of baseball I wanted to play. (From other major baseball teams) I got a lot of praise and a great offer, but I played for the Eagles again and he played in Japan. There was nothing better than throwing in front of people. “
