“It was essentially once with the team. When a suggestion was made. We talked for about 15 minutes.” “When I received the offer, my personal impression was that no one had high expectations. “I can’t think of the best words to use, but I feel like it would be best for me to leave (Rakuten) for a bit and do something new, somewhere where I’m needed,” he said.

However, he emphasized that it is not a question of how large or small the proposed amount is, saying, “This has taken on a life of its own like speculation, and we are somewhat confused by it.” When he returned to Rakuten in 2021, he said, “I turned down even bigger offers to come back. “I received an offer that was even better than the one from the Eagles, so I want you to remember that,” he said, repeating, “Anyway, I want to play for a place where people have high expectations of me and where I feel that my work is worthwhile.” news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/d52ebf71dc00443ef03309eea2f002f4699567c2.

Well, he’s had a year of rest and preparation for next year, and if he says “I don’t have any expectations of you, so I’ll give you a contract for this much,” he’ll be pissed, especially since he’s a contributor.

It pisses me off when stupid nerds who’ve never even played baseball make fun of Tanaka. Don’t forget that at your level, you could easily hit a fly ball to center field.

Maybe he wants people to have high expectations of him after seeing his high salary over the past few years
Maybe he can’t forget his heyday?

He gave up on a major league pension, he gave up on 200 wins,
and what was right in front of him as a life of dominance all came crashing down in an instant.

It would be one thing if he had been in rehabilitation for a long time, but after using him to the fullest for the last three years and then getting injured one year, this is awful.

I understand what you’re saying, but that’s where I’m at right now.
Well, if I go to the Central, I might be able to get three wins before the batters get used to it, so I might play.
If I stay in the Pacific, it’ll be impossible.

How dare you say you came back to Rakuten and did it for us? You’ve done nothing to contribute since you came back.

The team really wanted him to leave, and that was conveyed to him. I guess it’s understandable from Rakuten’s perspective.

Mikitani wanted to keep him more than Imae, but the team must be glad they were able to release him after he turned them down because he was difficult to handle.

You can’t really expect much from a 36-year-old with 0 wins, 1 loss and a 7.20 record.
But I wonder if there are teams that are willing to pay more than his numbers if they want him as a coaching candidate.

In recent years, every team that has tried to recruit a retired veteran as a coach has failed, right? I can think of only Shima who responded well, like Toritani or Uchikawa.

It’s probably not his main goal to get more money, but there’s no doubt he sees sincerity in the amount.
He says he chose Rakuten, which is cheaper than the majors, when he returned to Japan, but it’s harder for Rakuten to pay 900 million than it is for the majors to pay over 1 billion, so I think the sincerity he felt is what’s important.
When you think about it that way, it seems like he wouldn’t be satisfied unless he was paid more than 60 million this time, which is a comparison within the NPB.
If he was being biased, I’d go crazy.

I can see why people say he was having fun together with Anraku. He’s been given billions of yen in two years and yet he’s still being selfish despite not producing any results.
