Furuta leaves the Swallows.

These two are really good. But, their team is...

Yakult Swallows reported on 17th that Fukuta will announce his resignation of the team both as a player and the manager. Despite the fact that there are some players with .300, including the leading hitter Norichika Aoki, and Greisinger who has been gaining the best wins, the team is at the bottom. So, it can't be helped, I think.

Furuta was thought to be a very intelligent player and a prospective manager. He is not doing a good job as a manager now. Probably, playing in the team is totally different than managing the team.
