As Sean said it really doesn't make any sense that he'd quit this extremely well paying job because he owes a lot of money.NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-74321566850292654152018-06-29T23:34:26.769-04:002018-06-29T23:34:26.769-04:00Very odd indeed.

He owes money to people and therefore he is retiring from an extraordinarily well paid job in order to somehow take care of that? Outside of baseball he's basically just an unskilled high school grad qualified for 900 Yen per hour retail jobs. <br /><br />There must be more to the story, possibly this has been forced upon him by the team who don't want to be tarnished by any scandal that might emerge (he might not have done anything illegal but possibly the people he owes money to may have). Especially since a guy in debt to potentially shady characters is an obvious risk in terms of throwing games for money, etc. Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.com
