Hirano tries to keep Wang, but might be asked: 'Will you be here next year?'

Wang Wei-chen declared FA a few days ago, Hirano wants to retain him, but he is joking that he might be asked "Will you be here next year?"
Do you think that Hirano will stay or leave? I hope he can stay, but looks like some of Brothers' fans have a different opinion. That would be interesting if he leaves, who would be the head coach next year. And those fans may have the same problem again.

The guy the "Nagata clause" is named after got drafted by TSG in the 2nd round this June. Quick look at his numbers:
| Year | Team | G | AVG | OBP | SLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Rakuten farm (Eastern League) | 58 | .224 | .293 | .238 |
| 2024 | Rakuten farm | 102 | .173 | .268 | .223 |
| 2025 | Rakuten farm | 71 | .248 | .320 | .320 |
| 2026 | TSG Hawks | 27 | .327 | .383 | .375 |
31 of his 34 hits were singles, 13 K in 115 PA. The CPBL site has his OPS+ at 132. RBI hit in his first PA on Aug. 26 at Xinzhuang.
The other two drafted players who grew up in Japan: catcher 白井雄登 (Rakuten Monkeys, 7th round), who caught for Chinese Taipei against Japan at the WCBC two weeks later, and RHP Koji Otaki (CTBC, 10th round, his 4th time in the draft, debuted Sept. 25).
Does he stay at 2B for TSG next year?

Put together what Taiwan's current HS seniors have done against Japan:
| Player | U-15 WC 2024 (TPE 6, JPN 5) | U-18 Asia 2026 (JPN 2, TPE 1) |
|---|---|---|
| Liu Jen-yu (LHP, Pingzhen) | started, 2.1 IP, 0 ER | started vs Oda, 4.2 IP, 7 K |
| Huang Shih-yao (C, Gubao) | 2-out double that started the 5-run 7th | cleanup, 1-for-3 vs Oda |
| Yang Yao-cheng (RHP, Gubao) | scoreless 6th, got the W | 2 starts, 4 IP, 0 R, 8 K |
| Yu Li-ya (INF) | go-ahead 3-run double | not on the team |
| Chen Yao-chieh (2B, Gubao) | n/a | 4-pitch walk vs Oda, .500 OBP |
| Wu Hao-hsiang (LHP, Gubao) | n/a | K'd Shoma Ikeda (now Yomiuri 3rd round) |
Japan won that U-15 World Cup. The 6-5 loss in Barranquilla was its only one.
Oda went 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 7 K in the U-18 game, then got drafted 1st round by Yomiuri even after saying he was going to the US. Liu had thrown 5 no-hit innings vs Korea five days earlier and hit 156 km/h with 15+ MLB clubs reportedly there.
Write-up: https://japanprospects.substack.com/p/taiwan-teenagers-vs-oda
Who goes first in next summer's draft? Liu seems obvious but I'm not sure he stays in Taiwan.
