Manager Nevin: “We have a sense of crisis because we have a lot of talented players.”
■ Angels – Athletics (Japan time 26th, Anaheim)
On the 25th (Japan time 26th), Angels manager Phil Nevin mentioned the “FA problem” of pitcher Shohei Otani before the game once morest the Athletics. “This team has a lot of talent. I’m not in a rush. Good teams always have this problem,” he said.
Ohtani agreed to a one-year contract with an annual salary of $ 30 million (regarding 4 billion yen) in October last year. While Ohtani has spoken of his love for the Angels, he has also spoken of his feelings for a team that can win. Manager Nevin, who was asked regarding the FA issue by the US media, said with a wry smile, “This is the first time I’ve been asked this question.” He continued, “It doesn’t matter that Shohei will become an FA following the season ends. However, there are talented players, so I have a sense of danger and play every day.”
Director Nevin plans to continue to use Suarez, the left-hander who gave up 7 goals in the 5th inning the previous night, as part of the starting rotation. “Everyone is rooting for him and he’s a beloved player. Let’s throw him,” he said. The team is third in the district with 11 wins and 12 losses so far. I want to find the light of levitation.
