Rakuten pitcher Ren Kajiya (34) attended contract negotiations at Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi on the 25th and signed for 34 million yen, an increase of 18 million yen (estimated amount). Since joining the team this season, he has pitched in 54 games, the second most of his career, with a record of 2 wins, 1 loss, 1 save, 18 hold, and an ERA of 3.50. At the same time last year, he was notified by Hanshin Tigers that he was no longer needed, so he commented, "I feel very happy to be able to baseball, and just knowing that I have a contract for next season gives me a good feeling going into the season."
The day marked her 34th birthday and her 10th wedding anniversary. She revealed that she had requested that the negotiations take place on this day, and reflected, "I'm really happy to have a contract, and I'm feeling very tense." She smiled and said, "I feel like I'll have something to look forward to when I get home," before heading home.
