TOKYO — The Yomiuri Giants said Saturday they have signed a two-year, 1 billion yen contract with former Yakult Swallows outfielder Alex Ramirez.
The 33-year-old Ramirez, who was released from the Swallows at the end of the season after talks on a new deal collapsed, will don the No. 5 jersey. The Venezuela native joined Yakult in 2001 and claimed the home run (40) and RBI titles (124) in 2003. This season, Ramirez set a league record with 204 hits and led the league with 122 RBIs.
