Yu Darvish Pitcher Padres, who was scheduled to become an FA after the end of this season, has extended the contract for a new six-year, $108 million Japanese yen at approximately 14.2 billion yen. At the age of 36, he is guaranteed to play until the age of 42. It was a 6-year contract at this age, and the contents of the contract surprised him so much that he joked at the press conference, “I think it’s crazy.” Pitcher Darvish, who has been described as a painter and an artist, has a variety of breaking balls and pitching techniques. This contract is proof that the Padres have received the highest evaluation. Scherzer and Verlander, who are in their late 30s, are active on the front line, and the Padres must have judged that Darvish’s current pitching style would continue to pitch at the top level like the two of them. At the press conference, he said that if he had been with another team, he would have been assigned to a job away from home, and he had made the decision with his family in mind. San Diego seems to be my favorite city. I would like to see him throwing on the major league mound even after completing his 6-year contract and turning 40. ▼ Voice Kasukabe Tsumugi VOICEVOX: https://voicevox.hiroshiba.jp/ ▼ Original video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfTgwPIHAp8
