The MLB official website reported on the 3rd. The short-term contract has a trading volume of $3.35 million (approximately 485.75 million yen) and $850,000 (123.25 million yen). Pitcher Kodai Senga (31) belongs to the Mets, and now the teams with multiple Japanese players are the Dodgers (Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto), the Padres (Yu Darvish, Yuki Matsui), and the Cubs (Seiya Suzuki, now He became the fourth team to play for the team, following Shota Nagai). The team has undergone major reinforcements since ownership took over from Steve Cohen in 2020, but last season they finished fourth in the district with a record of 75 wins and 87 losses, missing out on advancing to the postseason. This off-season, the team was aiming to acquire pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who signed with the Dodgers, but was unsuccessful. Fujinami exercised his overseas free agency rights from Hanshin during the 2022 off-season and signed a one-year contract with the Athletics for $3.25 million (approximately 471 million yen). He was initially appointed as a starter, but his performance continued to be poor, with 0 wins and 4 losses in 4 games, and an ERA of 14.40, so he was moved to the bullpen. After turning into a reliever, he demonstrated his high strikeout ability, and his ERA also reached the 4-point range. His performance caught the attention of the Orioles, who were leading the American League East, and he was traded to the team on July 19th. He was primarily used as a set-up for the Orioles, with 2 wins and 0 losses, 2 holds and 2 saves, and an ERA of 4.85 in 30 games. The team won the district championship and experienced two champagne fights, including when they advanced to the postseason. He was left off the roster for the postseason. Last season, in his first year in the US, he pitched in a total of 64 games for two teams, with 7 wins, 8 losses, 5 holds, 2 saves, and an ERA of 7.18. He had a 5.14 ERA in 57 games as a reliever (excluding openers). ◆New York Mets Born in 1962 as a result of league expansion. First regional championship in 1969.
