Taiwanese infielder Zheng Zongzhe, who lives in the United States, has moved to a new club. According to “Sox Prospects”, the Red Sox traded him to the Tigers on the 29th. In the new season, he is expected to form a Taiwanese infield partner with another Taiwanese player, Li Haoyu.
withmajor League As the season ended, the Red Sox asked for a player to trade Zheng Zongzhe to the Tigers on the 29th in exchange for cash. As a result, the Tigers will have two Taiwanese players. However, since the Tigers currently have a roster of 42 to 44 players, the team will have to reduce the roster to 40 players by Monday night before officially announcing the deal.
Zheng Zongzhe was designated for transfer four times before the preseason this year, and finally landed in the Red Sox. He returned to the major leagues in June this year. He played in a total of 14 games, had 10 hits in 39 at-bats, contributed 5 RBI, and posted a batting average of .256, an on-base rate of 318%, and a slugging rate of 282%.
Zheng Zongzhe moves to the Tigers and becomes teammates with infielder Li Haoyu, who has shined in the major leagues this year. This will be the second time after the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games that the two will play in the same team.
