[Warning]Legend warns, “Japanese players should not transfer to the Yankees” A deep dive into Shohei Otani and Seiya Suzuki

■ Do you only see players as “number parts”? The treatment of Japanese players in the past, such as Hideki Matsui’s cold treatment after winning the World Series MVP award and the heartless comments made by team executives about the late Hideki Irabe, are still passed down as “lessons learned” in the Japanese baseball world and among players. We’ll delve into how the Yankees’ dry culture, where players are heroes when they get good results and instantly dispensable when they slump, is viewed by modern players. ■ “The real reason” why Shohei chose the Dodgers Why did Shohei Ohtani choose the Dodgers over the Yankees? Ortiz asserts, “The Dodgers have a culture of accepting players as family.” If Ohtani had gone to the Yankees, the challenge of becoming a two-way player might have been crushed by the harsh media and pressure from the front office in New York…and here’s the shocking reason. ■ Japanese players have become the “choosers” It used to be that “an offer from the Yankees was an honor,” but now it’s different. Star players such as Shohei Ohtani, Munetaka Murakami, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are now sought after by all 30 MLB teams. As each team respects the culture and individuality of its players and creates an environment in which to develop them as long-term assets, the Yankees’ “win-first” approach alone is no longer sufficient to attract top-class players. ■ Can organizational culture be changed? Discussions included environmental issues in New York, where pitcher Masahiro Tanaka spent time, and the case of pitcher Kei Igawa, and the possibility that a lack of “respect for players” that is not reflected in numbers is damaging the Yankees brand. What kind of “confrontation with the past” is truly necessary for the Yankees to acquire a Japanese star player in the future?[Video Summary]When it comes to future transfers of Japanese players, including the talented young player Sato, whom the Yankees are currently sending scouts to, their focus is not just on contract money. The history of the senior players and how the team treats the players as human beings. The time has come when that “sincerity” will be questioned. Will the Yankees once again become the dream destination for Japanese players, or will the rift continue to deepen? Be sure to watch until the end for this 30-minute discussion that delves into the depths of MLB, a must-see for baseball fans. ■About the production policy for this video (Important) The videos on this channel are original content that focuses on audio commentary, structure, and discussion.
