Andruw Jones跟日職樂天金鷲簽下一年3.5M的合約
Jones生涯擊出434發HR 算是NPB的洋助人中史上最大咖的之一
Andruw Jones has signed a one-year contract worth roughly $3.5 million to
play in Japan next season, reports Nikkan Sports (via NPBTracker.com).
According to the report, the Rakuten Golden Eagles of the Japanese Pacific
League have inked Jones to a one-year pact that will pay him 300 million yen.
The 35-year-old Jones has to his credit 434 career home runs and one of the
best defensive peaks ever at his position, so he'll one day be in the
Hall-of-Fame discussion (even if he's something of a long shot to make it).
Jones is a vaguely useful player in careful doses (i.e., strictly platooned
and kept away from a glove as often as possible). Last season with the
Yankees, Jones had an OPS of .701 across 269 plate appearances.
If nothing else, he's one of the biggest names ever to cross the Pacific and
play in NPB.
