Hanshin weigh future of infielder Keiyu Kumagai

Original: 熊谷敬宥

Keiyu Kumagai, the Hanshin Tigers infielder whose clutch hitting helped the club win its first Japan Series title in 38 years, is the subject of contract discussions. Reports say his departure is being considered, but the Tigers are making full efforts to retain him, with team figures viewing the steady hitter as an indispensable spiritual pillar for next season.

Why now: Reports that Hanshin is working hard to persuade Kumagai to stay despite uncertainty over his future have drawn attention from baseball fans.
