RHP Taiki Tojo has been acquired by Puerto Rican side Leones de Ponce. He was DFAed at the end of the 2024 season after spending 9 years as a Marine. We will wish him all the best.

Main reason for Shogo Nakamura's decision to go back to second base is not to "get in the way" of Hisanori Yasuda's development.

C.C. Mercedes will most likely not to return to the Marines in 2025. He was one of our best pitchers and a work horse on the mound but we kept throwing his starts by not giving him the run support he deserved. Thank you C.C. for the past 2 years.

The Marines has signed LHP Bryan Sammons. He made his MLB debut with the Detroit Tigers last season, throwing 26.1 innings and recording a 3.62 ERA. He has great control and also has a good mix of breaking balls. Let's see what he has to offer in Japan.

The Chiba Lotte Marines remain a threat in the Pacific League in 2025.
The Marines did not win 11 in a row with a fluke. They did it without Roki Sasaki. We should not think that Roki leaving makes us weaker , but continue to believe in this team and the players fighting for its name.
