Hello、munejyuka。

Shocking news has arrived。

The Anaheim Angels, to whom Ohtani belongs, have cut Albert Pujols from the majors.。

de facto、It may be said that it is out of force.。

The beginning of a long-term large contract

If you have even the slightest interest in Major League Baseball, you probably know about Pujols.。

He is an infielder from the Dominican Republic who made his major league debut with the Cardinals in 2001.。He mainly played first base.。

Won Rookie of the Year this year、Joined the Angels on a 10-year contract in the 2011 offseason.。

quite rare at the time、Signed a 10-year contract、It became a hot topic。

I thought it was normal for Major League players to move around as free agents.、It made me think that even major league players sign long-term contracts.。

Moreover, the period is 10 years! !

That's a contract that would be unthinkable in Japan.。The total amount is said to be 240 million dollars (approximately 26.16 billion yen).。That's amazing...

The overall results are also great!

Being able to conclude such a large contract、Because there was a great performance.。
Let's check the results a little.。

- Total 2112 RBIs, 2nd place in history

・667 home runs and 669 doubles rank 5th all-time

・10-time All-Star appearance、Won MVP three times

I can't complain、That's a great result。

Still、This season, he played in 24 games and had a batting average of .198.、5 home runs tied for 4th on the team、He had a result of 17 RBIs.。

Achieved his 3,000th hit in a game against the Mariners on May 4, 2018.。3000 hits、600 home runs、He is the first person to hit over 600 doubles since Hank Aaron.、He is a superstar who is guaranteed to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in the future.。
