Seibu announced on the 3rd that it notified Shinsaburo Tawada (27), Makoto Aiuchi (26) and Kosei Fujita (22) that they will not sign a contract for the next season.

Tawada joined the team in first place in the draft in 2015 and won 16 victories in 2018, earning the most. However, he left the team due to autonomic imbalance in the middle of last season and spent the year as a player pending contract. He did not participate in camp this spring and signed a controlled player contract on July 30. In the Eastern League, he had 1 win and 2 losses in 5 games and a defense rate of 3.65.

It seems that the policy is to enter into a training contract in the future. GM Watanabe said: “As it was under control, I felt pressured and it was difficult to take it. However, I am still willing to continue playing baseball. I am thinking of several teams. Do not put too much pressure. Illness I think if it is cured, it will become into a force. ” Tawada commented, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I hope I can continue playing baseball.”

In the eighth year, Aiuchi was highly rated for his sense and it was expected, but in 21 games in total, he had 0 wins and 7 losses and a defense rate of 10.05. In April, during the emergency declaration, he went out to the golf course, traveled in a private car driven by his colleague Sato, and was found to have a speeding violation that exceeded the legal speed. I was being punished. Retired from active duty, the future is undecided.

Aiuchi said: “I have signed up for the Lions so far, and the most memorable game was the game against Lotte on April 25 last year. I think I was able to take my turn. I would like to thank all the fans for supporting me like this. In the future, I will retire from baseball and take a new path. I would like to go with you. “

Fujita in the fifth year did not participate in the first army. “I left the field, so when I entered Seibu, I remembered that everything was fresh. I want to say to my fans,” Thank you for your support so far. “It’s too bad I couldn’t see him throwing over an army mound, he was sick (in my professional life) and, at times, I could not launch it as I expected. I aspired to be a physiotherapist when I was injured, and in the future I would like to be able to help people who cannot move or suffer as much as I want, “he decided to retire He talked about his goals.
