Softbank Kohei Arihara pitcher was announced as a free agent by the Japan baseball Organization (NPB) on the 2nd. The list of reserved players with the right to sign a contract for next season was also announced, but Arihara was removed. In 21 and 22, he was a right-hander who played for the Rangers. This season, his three-year contract with Softbank has ended, and he is willing to try the American baseball world again. He explores the path of a major transfer, but it is also possible to negotiate with domestic clubs. The Giants and other clubs are closely watching the trend, and it is expected that it will be a battle.
