Nippon Ham Fighters infielder Michihiro Ogasawara re-signed Friday for an unchanged annual salary of 400 million yen, officials of the Pacific League club said.
Ogasawara, who marked a .300 or better average for the fifth straight season and helped Japan claim the bronze medal at the Athens Olympics in August, was pleased with the outcome.
"I have nothing new to say (about the outcome of the negotiation). I'm satisfied," Ogasawara said.
