[I never thought that you'd end up choosing to stay in Japan after always saying you wanted to go to the United States.]
Lin Guanglai's fingers danced over the phone screen, typing out these words before sending them to Ohtani Shohei.
Just yesterday, the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters released an official announcement. The announcement was quite brief, essentially informing the fans that they had successfully negotiated with player Ohtani Shohei, and that the signing ceremony would take place soon.
Lin Guanglai wasn't sure what stories occurred during this time; but at least for him, he was rather hopeful that Ohtani Shohei would stay in Japan. Having such a rival would also push him to continuously improve.
"Ding~" The message had just been sent when his phone rang again. Lin Guanglai picked it up and couldn't help but laugh.
[Ohtani Shohei: What's wrong? Are you scared? Afraid that if I stay in Japan, your bold words about winning Rookie of the Year will just go up in smoke?]
