Saitama Seibu Lions roster and training updates
Overview
The Saitama Seibu Lions have begun off-season roster restructuring. On October 25, the club announced that seven rostered players, including pitchers Ryota Itokawa and Masato Aoyama, will not be renewing their contracts for the upcoming season. This follows the earlier release of developmental players and is intended to manage roster limits following the selection of five new players in the recent draft.
By October 28, the club announced its rosters for the 2026 autumn training camps, which will be held at Nango Stadium in Miyazaki, the Lions Training Center in Tokorozawa, and Shida Stadium in Izu. As part of an international strategy to strengthen ties with national baseball federations, the training camps will include four international trainees from Uganda, Italy, and the Netherlands.
