His monthly salary last year was 730,000 yuan. He played 17 games last year, including 16 starts, with 5 wins and 7 losses, and an ERA of 4.93.
For other out-of-competition players, the team has players to sign back, including those from other teams. Among them, whether infielder Chen Weihan will be transferred to other positions is still under discussion; team salary is also in progress, the team said , “The progress is pretty smooth. At least it will allow players to clarify whether they want to exercise their rights before salary arbitration.”
