Even if they prioritize the length of the contract and the amount of money, they are drawn to teams where they can make their presence felt and where they are valued. Left-handed pitcher Sachiya Yamasaki, 31, a free agent from the Orix Buffaloes, is expected to wear a Nihon Ham Fighters uniform. However, Niihon Ham is not the team that offered him the best deal.
