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.。

長期大型契約のはしり

メジャーリーグにちょっとでも興味がある方はこのプホルズ選手はご存知だと思います。

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.。

しかも期間が１０年！！

それこそ日本では考えられない契約ですよね。The total amount is said to be 240 million dollars (approximately 26.16 billion yen).。凄いですよね…

通算成績も素晴らしい！

これだけの大型契約を結ぶことができるのも、Because there was a great performance.。
Let's check the results a little.。

・通算２１１２打点は歴代2位

・６６７本塁打と６６９二塁打は歴代５位

・オールスター出場１０度、ＭＶＰを３度獲得

文句のつけようがないほど、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.。

ＳＯ選手と仲良しで有名！

私がプホルズ選手をより知ることができたのは、This is because I was a colleague of SO TAGUCHI during my time with the Cardinals.。

Moreover, they were quite good friends.、I was able to get to know Pujols.。

Mr. SO who is good friends with super stars、I think he's a great player.。

他球団に移籍かそれともこのまま引退か？

超のつくスーパースターのアルバート・プホルズ選手も現在４１歳。

Major League Baseball is age sensitive anyway.。
It was the same with Ichiro.。

果たして獲得の手をあげるチームはあるのか？
それともこのまま引退なのか？

Please pay attention! !
