The japanese left – handed reliever

Yuki Matsui, a Japanese left-handed reliever from the Rakuten Golden Eagles of the Pacific League is close to an agreement with the San Diego Padres. Matsui has a record of 236 saves with a 2.40 ERA in 10 seasons. No wonder the third place in the National League West this year wanted him.   

Not only did the San Diego Padres show interest in Yuki, but other teams like The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals have reported in recruiting Yuki Matsui. A 2024 season with a two-game series in Seoul will open on March 20 against divisional rivals, Los Angeles Dodgers. Playing alongside this team is their new star, Shohei Ohtani.
