プロ野球の楽天から大リーグのヤンキースへ移籍した田中将大投手が１１日（日本時間１２日未明）、ニューヨークのヤンキースタジアムで入団会見を行った。背番号１９のピンストライプのユニホームに袖を通すと、笑顔で「ハロー」と第一声。「ヤンキースの一員になれて幸せです」と英語であいさつした。
　昨季は楽天で２４勝０敗という大記録を残し、ヤンキースでも先発の柱として期待される。米メディアからヤンキースを選んだ理由を問われると、「ニューヨークという街はすべてにおいて厳しいところ。そこで自分の力を出し切りたいから」と明かした。重圧は感じないといい、昨季までと同じように、「投げる試合は全部勝つ気持ちでマウンドに上がる」と語った。
　会見には、ハル・スタインブレナーオーナーやキャッシュマンＧＭ、ジラルディ監督らも同席。日米あわせて３００人近くの報道陣が集まり、７年契約で年俸総額１億５５００万ドル（約１６１億円）で伝統球団に入る注目度の高さがうかがわれた。田中はフロリダ州タンパで１５日に始まる春季キャンプからチームに合流する。今年は大リーグの試合を観戦する日本人が増えるかもしれませんね。調整して大記録を達成してほしいですね。
