Japan's Daily Sports reported on the 25th that "The Hanshin Tigers' year-end party (payment ceremony) was held at a hotel in downtown Osaka, but infielder Yusuke Oyama (30), who exercised his right as a free agent in Korea, was absent." Oyama declared FA on the 13th. The Yomiuri Giants are known to be preparing for a long-term contract for up to six years by adding a one-year extension option to the basic five years. Hanshin is also making all-out efforts to stay, offering a large contract worth up to five years and a total of 2 billion yen (18.2 billion won). Oyama's annual salary this year is 280 million yen (2.6 billion won).메이저놀이터
According to Daily Sports, Oyama responded by saying, "Of course," when an "Oyama call" broke out from fans who attended the fan audit day on the 23rd and wanted to stay. Initially, he was expected to appear at the club's year-end party, but attention is drawn to his meaning as he did not attend. Japanese media Nikkan Sports also said, "Yomiuri is preparing a six-year, large-scale contract worth more than 2.4 billion yen (21.8 billion won) to Oyama." Coincidentally, Yomiuri is Hanshin's rival. "I think my biggest concern is going from Hanshin to a giant (Yomiuri)," Yomiuri Manager Abe Shinnosuke said, "Times are changing and I think I'm okay. I hope to become a big FA player of the century. I think the baseball community will become more interesting if the transfer becomes active," and encouraged Oyama to make a drastic transfer.
Since his debut in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in 2017, Oyama has posted a batting average of 0.268 (914 hits in 3,407) with 137 homers and 551 RBIs in 977 games. He played in 130 games this season, posting a batting average of 0.259 with 14 homers and 68 RBIs. He ranked third in homers in his team following Shota Morishita and Teruaki Sato with 16 homers. Last season, he was the on-base man in the NPB Central League (0.403). He has been selected as an All-Star for the second consecutive year since 2022. He has little history of playing for the national team, but is receiving strong love from Yomiuri as a leading star representing Hanshin Tigers. The Japanese media outlet Sports Hochi commented that he is agonizing over the remaining players and transferring to the Yomiuri Giants.
