On the 17th, Nippon-Ham Fighters owner Nobuhisa Igawa revealed his intention to ask manager Tsuyoshi Shinjo, who is in his fourth year in the position, to continue in his position.

The team is currently in the midst of a battle with Softbank for the championship. Owner Igawa said, “As a team, we’ve been in last place, last place, second place, and this year we’re either in second place or winning. This is the picture we’re seeing. We’d like Manager Shinjo to continue, but it’s ultimately up to him to decide. I’d like him to focus on the championship race, and we’d like to talk about that sort of thing in due course. There’s no reason for him to resign.”
