Glad to hear, been a fan of him when he was still with Rakuten even though it was just a short time. Best of luck to him there with the Giants.

He’s a classy guy. Really liked him when he played for SF. He didn’t have a great time there and not only did he accept a demotion to AAA when he didn’t have to accept it, when he lost his starting job to Duffy he handled it in a classy way.

How do you say “ground into a double play” in Japanese? Because that’s a phrase that’s going to be heard often with this guy.

Awesome! Thank you!

I am honestly a bit surprised he didn’t get/accept any minor league offers.

Could he have and we just don’t know about it? Like maybe he was offered a really low salary to play for some AAA team and the money in Japan is better?
Honestly I’m surprised he regressed so much after having that comeback season for Miami. I always felt with SF he was “about” to break out but never did.

Minor leaguers make like 50 grand a year. Japan definitely pays better.

I talked to McGehee about his first stint in Japan when he was with the Marlins in 2014. He had only positive remarks, so it doesn’t surprise me that he is willing to return. He will probably make more money over there as well.
