DFA. This is an abbreviation of “Designated For Assignment” and is used as a de facto “fire sentence” in the major leagues. This season too, Shohei Ohtani’s record-breaking two-way wrestling performance was attracting attention in the major leagues.

Those players are Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, Kohei Arihara, Seiya Suzuki, and Yusei Kikuchi. are not getting the results they want. When the above four players actually signed contracts with major teams, expectations were high, and the contract amount was also very large. Tsutsugo signed a large contract with the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2019 off-season for a total of $12 million for two years, approximately 1,720.18 million yen. Arihara signed a two-year contract with the Texas Rangers for a total of $6.2 million, or approximately 892.47 million yen in Japanese yen. Seiya Suzuki signed a five-year, $85 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.

Tsutsugo has become a DFA, depriving young players of the opportunity to play.” My chest hurts so badly. I have a feeling that I want you to look back on the local media of the Pirates, but what will happen to the future destination?
