What is the truth behind his 5-year 1.5 billion yen contract?” Hello everyone! Today we have special news for you. Takuya Kai, who transferred from Softbank to the Giants, held a press conference in Tokyo on the 26th. The uniform number has been decided to be 10, which was the number worn by director Shinnosuke Abe! The contract is a large one with a total of 1.5 billion yen over 5 years. At the press conference, Kai appeared wearing a Giants-colored tie and gave a powerful greeting, “My name is Takuya Kai, and I am joining the Yomiuri Giants.” He was moved by Coach Abe’s passionate words and expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I will do my best to encourage Coach Abe.” Kai joined Softbank in 2010 in the 6th place in the training draft, and has been active as the “Kai Cannon,” known for his strong shoulders. He contributed to winning the World Baseball Premier 12 in 2019, the Tokyo Olympics™ in 2021, and the WBC in 2023. It seems that the deciding factor for joining the Giants was manager Abe’s words. He said, “On the field, the catcher is the manager,” and although he felt the weight of his responsibility, he couldn’t hide his happiness. Now, I have a question for you all! What do you think about Kai joining the Giants? Also, what expectations do you have for inheriting Coach Abe’s jersey number “10”? Please let us know in the comments! Kai talked about his image of the Giants as “a team that needs to keep winning,” and expressed his determination to lead the young pitchers. Furthermore, he seems to be looking forward to reuniting with Masahiro Tanaka, who transferred from Rakuten. He is enthusiastic, saying, “I want to hear various stories from Tanaka and grow as a catcher.” This season, the Giants won the league for the first time in four years, and Kai has vowed to play an active role in his new field, saying, “I want to do my best to become number one in Japan.” Let’s all support Kai’s success! We look forward to your messages of support! ”
