On the 17th (Korea time), Jeff Bankruptcy Reporter of the U.S. ('ESPN') said on SNS, `Right-hander Sugano has agreed to a one-year, $13 million (about 18.7 billion won) contract with the Baltimore Orioles, a source said. Sugano is one of the best pitchers in Japan this year."
Sugano is a franchise star that symbolizes the Yomiuri Giants. He was born in 1989 and is 35 years old this year, but after the 2020 season, he declared a major league challenge and even negotiated with him, but he finally chose to stay in Yomiuri.
Sugano, who played again in the Yomiuri Giants, recorded an overwhelming 15-3 record with a 1.67 ERA in 156 ⅔ innings this season, as good as his peak. And I took on my second major league challenge.
Sugano, who has qualified as an FA, is considered to be old, but he has declared his challenge to the major league stage, and there have been offers from several clubs, but he seems to have reached a final agreement with Baltimore.
Major League Baseball's official website 'MLB.com ' also reported Sugano's trip to Baltimore. ""MLB.com " introduced Sugano as "an eight-time All-Star player, two-time Sawamura Award winner, and three-time Central League MVP winner in his 12 years playing in the NPB.""
