Sorry about the 3 month hiatus.
#Uni-President_Lions waited until the final week of the season to clinch the first half title, outlasting #CTBC_Brothers, who was pushing for a 1 game playoff.
Second half has begun this week, and teams will now battle for the other spot in the #Taiwan_Series.
We're almost at the quarter point of the season and #WeiChuan_Dragons are leading the league with a 8-4 record. Defending champ #CTBC_Brothers are just percentage points behind, and #Fubon_Guardians. as always, have settled in nicely in their usual spot, battling the #TSG_Hawks to avoid last place.
#NPB's #Nippon_Ham_Fighters visited Taipei and played 2 games against #CPBL teams in the #Taipei_Dome.
They beat #UniPresident_7-11_Lions 3:0 in game 1, and beat #CTBC_Brothers 8:0 in game 2. OF #Chusei_Mannami homered in both games, while slugger #Kotaro_Kiyomiya also had one against the brothers.
#CTBC_Brothers have reached a 10-yr contract extension with SS #Kun-Yu_Chiang. The 24-yr-old has already won 5 #Gold_Gloves in a row.
Chiang's monthly salary will reach 1.2 million NTD by yr 5, and there is a player option by the end of yr 7, when a 1.5 million NTD monthly salary must be guaranteed.
CPBL's #CTBC_Brothers have reportedly resigned RHP #Daniel_Mengden for the 2025 season. The 31-yr-old was 10-3 with a 2.86 ERA last year.
This came after the team had also resigned with LHP #Kirk_McCarty and LHP #Jose_DePaula.
Joining the team will be former major leaguer RHP #Humberto_Castellanos.
@drivelinebaseball.com 's Arizona location is now a popular facility for #CPBL teams and players. In December #Fubon_Guardians sent players there for offseason development, and now 17 #WeiChuan_Dragons players/coaches have arrived this week, and they will be joined by a #CTBC_Brothers contingent too
#CTBC_Brothers free agent OF Tzu-Hao Chen has reportedly reached a contract agreement with the #WeiChuan_Dragons. The 10-year deal is rumored to be 130 million NT with escape clause and team/player options.
The 29-year-old Chen hit .276/.355/.515 this year with 17 HR and 60 RBI.
