Saito Yuki comments on Tanaka Masahiro’s sudden departure from Rakuten: “I’m honestly surprised,” “I sincerely hope he achieves 200 wins”
Former Nippon-Ham Fighters professional baseball player Saito Yuki (36) appeared live on Nippon Television’s “newsevery.” (Monday to Friday 3:50 pm), where he serves as a Monday and Tuesday newscaster, on the 25th. He commented on pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (36), who announced on the 24th that he was leaving the Rakuten Golden Eagles. “I think the Rakuten Eagles are a very special team for him. I think he had a huge presence for Rakuten fans as well. So, to be honest, I was surprised when I heard about this decision, but no matter which team Ma-kun goes to, I will support him and I sincerely hope that he will achieve 200 wins as a representative of our generation.” On the 24th, Masahiro Tanaka announced on his YouTube channel that he will not sign a contract with Rakuten for next season and will look for a new team. On the same day, Rakuten also announced that it would not include him on its list of players on hold for contracts, which was scheduled to be submitted on November 30th. The team is believed to have offered Tanaka a salary of 50 million yen next season, which is significantly more than the reduction limit (40% for salaries over 100 million yen) from his current salary of 260 million yen, and a total of more than 100 million yen including performance bonuses. In the end, the right-handed pitcher himself asked to leave the team, saying, “Please make me a free agent.” Masahiro Tanaka returned to his former team from the Yankees in 2021. After undergoing surgery on his right elbow, he only pitched in one game this season. His sudden departure came just three wins away from reaching 200 wins in Japan and the United States. Attention is focused on his future.

You don’t need to win 200 games, just retire.

No one supports him…
He gets ridiculed even by idol otakus, he’s a power type after all.

Is Mr. Saito before his retirement and Mr. Tanaka now about the same?

I think Tanaka is way more in terms of how much he makes.
It depends on what you want to compare.

My name is Saito and I graduated from Waseda University. I sincerely hope that Ma-kun (high school graduate) will reach 200 wins.

Saiteo, you have about 180 more wins to go, do your best lol.

As a member of the handkerchief generation…

It would add some prestige to say that the handkerchief is from the same generation as 200-win pitcher Tanaka Masahiro.

NTV pushed Saito Yuuki hard. Is this person the same? They’re taking TV too lightly.
32Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 25, 2024 (Mon) 18:40:34.97ID:H3TOgrrS0
If he wants to achieve 200 wins, he has no choice but to accept a big pay cut and stay.
33Anonymous @I’m sorry.Nov. 25, 2024 (Mon) 18:40:39.58ID:INR2KCMN0
Ironic, perhaps.

Hankachi knows how difficult it is to win just one game.

He’ll transfer to Orix and make his grand exit.

What’s more surprising is that Saito has remained in the first team for so long despite having no actual wins or skill.

No. He got hit a lot in the first team and then got injured in the second team, so he was stuck at home for years.

It can’t be helped if he takes so much time off training and during the season to hang out with his wife. He seems to believe in his own abilities, but he’s living too unhealthy.

Who is Tanaka close to? He doesn’t pay any attention to Hankachi Saito. He’s supposed to be his childhood friend, but he definitely doesn’t have any contact with Sakamoto. There’s no talk of any junior players at Rakuten that he looks up to. All that comes up is that he hung out with Anraku. Well, I guess he’s been fighting as a professional, being a solitary figure. Even so.

When he was in his 20s, he was known as the popular Tanaka and the talented Saito.
