Two players from the China Baseball Association’s Tianjin Lions have signed preliminary minor league contracts with Japan’s Yokohama BayStars for 2009. Twenty-year-old infielder Wang Jing-Chao and 25-year-old pitcher Chen Wei inked interim agreements to play in the BayStars system next year on November 30 at the Tianjin Sports Hotel prior to a December 12 press conference in Yokohama.
The Tianjin Lions are the reigning three-time champions of the CBA, but went winless in three games at last month’s Asia Series in Tokyo. A number of Lions players represented China in last summer’s Olympics in Beijing.
