Quote

When he retired as a pro in 2017, Tadahito Iguchi, the second baseman for the Chicago White Sox’s 2005 World Series champs, said he someday hopes to be back in a Sox uniform.

“Yes. That’s my dream,” the second-year Lotte Marines manager said in March.

Jerry sign him up, Jerry Jerry sign him up

He would provide as much value to the future at 2B as Yolmer.

In all seriousness, could he join as an ambassador role similar to Contreras?

Knowing Jerry he'll give Tadahito a lifetime contract off the bat and then let him bang his wife after

  This is uncalled for.

What an unbelievably idiotic thing to say

That would be my hope. I thought Shingo and Tadahito would help us establish an NPB pipeline but it seems most of them only want to play on the west coast. Or their arms fall off soon after they get here. It also doesn't seem like hitters make the jump at all anymore (besides Ohtani).

He could be an instructor.

And a good one given his grasp of the fundamentals which are stressed in Japan. But Omar is next in line to manage the Sox when they let Ricky go.
