Played under the Giants since midway through this season.
Giants head of organization Farhan Zaiti has announced that he is in talks to renew his contract with infielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, who became a free agent from the Giants. On the 8th (9th Japan time), he was interviewed by the press at a GM meeting held in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, and said that he was in talks to sign him as a player invited to camp. This was reported by Andrew Bagley, a reporter for the American sports media outlet The Athletic.

This season, Tsutsugo signed a minor league contract with the Rangers, then moved to Staten Island in the American independent league, before signing a minor league contract with the Giants in August. She played in 68 games in 2A and 3A in the minors this season, hitting .260 with 10 home runs and an .858 OPS. Reporter Bagley said, “She was acquired late last season, and (Zaidi) likes her performance in 2A and 3A.”
Joel Wolfe, Tsutsugo’s agent, declared on the 7th (8th) the day before, “He will not return to NPB. He will continue to play here (in the United States). That’s for sure.” “I had many opportunities to return to Japan and play for several NPB teams, but I chose to stay here. I never gave up,” he said, representing Tsutsugo’s thoughts. With strong determination, he aims to be promoted to the majors for the first time in two years.
