Dodgers pitcher Kenta Maeda (28) will appear on Fuji TV’s “Your Time” broadcast late at night on the 1st. Maeda, who has been playing for the Dodgers since this season, revealed that Hiroshima pitcher Hiroki Kuroda (41), who used to be with the Dodgers, served as an intermediary between Dodgers ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw (28). Maeda said, “I was inspired” by the league championship of my old home, Hiroshima. Regarding Kuroda, who retired from active duty at the end of this year, he said, “It’s special for me, and it’s special for Carp.” . Maeda moved to the Dodgers off last year using the posting system. At that time, Maeda consulted with Kuroda about “where to live in LA (Los Angeles) and the Dodgers” and received advice. In that flow, Kuroda contacted Dodgers ace Kershaw, and Maeda received an email from Kershaw saying, “Let’s work together.” Kazuhisa Ishii, a baseball critic who also appeared on the program, is also a Dodgers OB. Mr. Ishii asked Maeda, “Why didn’t you consult with me?” When Mr. Ishii smiled wryly, he interceded, saying, “From now on, I will consult Mr. Ishii.” Finally, when asked about his goals for next season, he declared, “I want to become a world champion.” https://youtu.be/RzQ6Rupz0R4
