Left-hander Lai Hung-cheng was placed outside the 60-man roster by the Lotte Monkeys following the season this year. The only contract offered by the Taiwan Steel Eagles, which he has contact with at present, made him feel sincere and hoped that both parties might reach a consensus. It was also revealed in the roster announcement Rakuten once asked regarding next year’s salary, “but there is no room for negotiation.”
Lai Hongcheng performed well this year. He scored 18 relievers in 39 games, struck out 15 times in 30.1 innings, and did not hit a home run. His ERA was only 1.78, but he was eventually placed outside the 60-man roster.
Lai Hongcheng was interviewed by the media when he participated in the Pingzhen High School Alumni OB game today. He said that the Apes had inquired regarding next year’s price before the 60-man roster was released. “But there was no room for negotiation, only willingness to accept it. In the end, I did not accept it. I also told the company that the decision to make is the company’s decision.” Finally, I received a call from team leader Kawada Kishinori and was informed that I would be put off the list.
Due to the new team protection clause, the Taiwan Steel Eagles can give priority to negotiating contracts with players outside the 60-man roster before the end of the year. Lai Hung-cheng is one of the targets. Lai Hung-cheng also confirmed today that the two parties have been in contact and have received multiple-year and single-year contracts. “Although they are the only ones who can contact us at the moment, they have shown the greatest sincerity. I am very grateful to Taigang for the satisfactory figures and hope to reach a consensus as soon as possible.”
With Lai Hung-cheng’s skills, there will be teams outside Taiwan Steel that are interested. Lai Hung-cheng said that the key is to see which team he can help, and also to feel stable from the team. “I won’t go where the money is.” If the first team, but the team, shows the greatest sincerity, I will believe in this team more.”
