2029 Opening Day Roster
It's the Arrows' 8th year of operation, and with a three-season playoff streak going, expectations are high. A few new faces thanks to internal development, including some midyear call-ups getting a full season. Will be a tough year with SoftBank opening the wallet and Kirin nabbing top FA Takaya Ishikawa just before spring training.
