Kuo Yen-wen Voluntarily Terminates Brothers Tryout Contract, Career 100 Home Runs in Doubt

(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-she Taipei 17th) The CTBC Brothers of the Chinese Professional Baseball League today delisted infielder Kuo Yen-wen, who voluntarily proposed to terminate his tryout due to a foot injury. Yeh Chun-chang, the former manager of Kuo Yen-wen's previous team, the Wei Chuan Dragons, said that this is Kuo Yen-wen's personality, and his unachieved 100 home runs can only be 'left to fate'.

Kuo Yen-wen, once a key player for the Rakuten Monkeys, transferred to the Dragons in 2024. After the end of last season, his contract was not renewed. In March this year, he signed a tryout contract with the Brothers, playing 6 games in the minor league and hitting 2 singles in 16 at-bats.

According to a statement issued by the Brothers team, Kuo Yen-wen's foot injury affected him, and he voluntarily proposed to terminate the tryout arrangement. Both parties have ended their cooperation. The team thanked Kuo Yen-wen for his dedication and efforts during this period and wished him a speedy recovery and a smooth future career.

Yeh Chun-chang stated that Kuo Yen-wen, who has batting talent, is currently injured. 'He has been here for several years and knows that he cannot help the team 100%. His personality is like this; he might feel that he shouldn't cause trouble for others.'

Kuo Yen-wen, with 98 career home runs, is only 2 steps away from 100 home runs, but he has not had a chance to be promoted to the first team this season. Yeh Chun-chang, who has 961 career hits, said that he also did not achieve 1,000 hits in his career, and sometimes one can only view records with a sense of fate. 'Life is just like that.'
