2021 Seibu Lions Salary List

 

===

With NPB in offseason mode, it becomes a period of transition into next year with contract negotiations and salaries being reported. While foreigners have agents to deal with business, domestically, the player has a chance to make his case on his worth with a team representative before both sides come to an agreement. 

Teams will factor in whatever the player did and could give a raise, paycut or status quo depending on what happened in the season. While these reported figures are not exact, they are the universal estimates that the media uses. 

Here is what the Lions have as this list will continue to update: 

Legend: 

^ - Raise

|v| - Paycut

= - Same wages

R = Coming off their first game or season at the ichi-gun.

AVG/OBP/SLG for position players.
