On the 25th, pitcher Tanaka Masahiro held a press conference to announce his joining the Giants. Tanaka's opening words were, "I am Tanaka Masahiro, and I have signed with the Giants," and, "I am honored to be wearing the uniform of the Giants, a team I have been a fan of since I was a child." Manager Abe Shinnosuke also appeared at the press conference. He explained the reason for acquiring him, saying, "Young players today lack passion. I want them to watch, learn, and carry on the tradition." Tanaka is close to reaching 200 wins in Japan and the US, and expectations are high for his performance next season.
