33.2 billion won slave contractor in Japan, Remain or Transfer?

With Japanese pitcher Kenta Maeda (35) qualified as a free agent, what will happen to him.

Major League Trade Rumours, which announced the transfer of Major League Baseball, mentioned Maeda's future on the 17th, predicting the offseason of the Minnesota Twins.

Maeda recorded six wins, eight losses and a 4.23 ERA in 104 ⅓ innings in 21 games (20 starts) this season.

In April, at the beginning of the season, he left for two months due to an injury to his right arm. But when he came back, he kept the starting rotation. After his return, he played with a 3.36 ERA in 88 ⅓ innings.

"Maeda is likely to leave Minnesota," the media said, adding, "We had a few unstable and strong seasons. In 2020, the shortened season, he also ranked second in the Cy Young Award with an average ERA of 2.70.

In the meantime, he classified Maeda as a potential breakaway resource. The question is whether Minnesota catches him. Maeda may receive an offer with the Major League Qualifying Offer (QO) set at $20.5 million (about 27.7 billion won) this coming winter.

The media said, "Maeda deserves a qualifying offer. Maeda is likely to accept it if he offers a one-year $2.5 million contract, he said. "It is unclear whether the veteran, who will turn 36 in April next year, will show the same performance as in the second half of this year." "There is also room for debate inside Minnesota," he predicted.

Maeda, who made his professional debut in the first round of the 2006 Japanese professional baseball rookie draft with a 97-67 record with a 2.39 ERA in 218 games in eight seasons until 2015.

Maeda, who challenged the Major League Baseball through a "posting system" ahead of the 2016 season, entered the U.S. stage with an eight-year, $24 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But the contract was strange. It was a slave contract, with more incentives than the basic salary. Despite the eight-year long-term contract, the basic annual salary was only 25 million dollars.

Under these unfavorable conditions, Maeda was traded to Minnesota after playing for the Dodgers for four seasons, 47-35 with a 3.87 ERA.

In 2020, when it was a shortened season, he was ranked second in voting for the American League Cy Young Award with 6 wins and 1 loss and an ERA of 2.70.

But the injury came. In 2021, he went on the operating table with a 6-5 record with a 4.66 ERA. It was Tommy John surgery. This caused him to lose the entire 2022 season.

And he played again this year, helping Minnesota advance to the postseason. He was eliminated from the division series, and Maeda's eight-year contract was also terminated. 안전 토토사이트
