Song Wenhua, a Taiwanese American player who plays for the Padres, was released by the Padres on the 21st, according to the official minor league website. Song Wenhua also revealed in the Facebook fan group today, "This is just the most common news in the baseball circle, just a transaction. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to sign up for this year's secondary vocational draft."

Song Wenhua on Facebook "I believe everyone has seen the news. To me, this is just the most common news in the baseball circle, just a transaction. I have been thinking about it for a long time this year and felt it was time, so I took the initiative to discuss my ideas with the team. , although the team also communicated with me during the process that I hope to stay, there will always be times in life when I need to make a choice. I have grown a lot along the way, and I am really grateful to the team for the opportunity I have given me. The decision is not the most important, the key is to be responsible and go all out after making the decision. Next, I will sign up for this year's secondary vocational draft. During this period, I will continue to work hard to prepare myself. Thank you all. 》
