Nippon-Ham announced that outfielder Franmil Reyes (31) left Japan on a flight on the 17th to return home. Through the team, he commented: "This season was a good one for both myself and the team. Everyone wearing the same uniform has been able to play with their full effort on the ground every day, and I am confident that we are getting closer to the goal of bringing the championship to Hokkaido. I believe the future of this team is bright, and I want to be a piece of that. To the fans, thank you for coming to the stadium every day. Your love has reached both me and my teammates, and you are very special. Thank you very much for all the messages and support."
