雖然挑戰大聯盟的日本球員在回歸日職以後多半會在日職走完職業生涯
不過田中將大的態度看起來不是這麼一回事
昨天他在記者會上說
“I feel I have unfinished business in America, and I haven’t given up on
that, so they agreed on terms that would keep those options open,”
報導猜測他雖然簽了兩年約，不過今年結束能夠跳脫合約尋求大聯盟的機會
同時認為他其實今年是有可能留在大聯盟的，只是沒拿到滿意的報價
“At the instant I became a free agent, truthfully, my desire was to re-sign
with the Yankees and continue playing for them,” Tanaka said. “But at a
very early stage, I heard from them through my agent and felt it would be
better if I considered other options, which I considered, including a return
to Japan.”
田中也說他成為自由球員的當下是很想跟洋基重新簽一份合約的，但在談判非常初期的階
段聽到球團透過經紀人表達的意見就知道自己最好考慮其他的選項，包含回日本
MLB TR有篇報導認為田中2022年有可能會回洋基，今年沒簽是因為想重置豪華稅，沒辦法
給出讓田中滿意的價碼
不過看Jon Heyman這篇推文的講法又覺得田中回洋基的機會微乎其微

洋基覺得有跡象顯示田中的stuff退步了，所以季後才沒什麼嘗試跟他重簽新約
