Today, Yusei Kikuchi addressed the Houston Astros Media for the first time since being traded from the Toronto Blue Jays.
I'll miss having our friends who work in Japanese media around covering Yusei Kikuchi. Road games will be an even lonelier gig without them.
The Astros had to send such a big package to the #BlueJays to make up for the fact I don't get to hang out with @AyakoOikawa any more. 🥃
It was clear in the press conference how excited he was to be apart of a team that can make a run for the World Series Title, but you also heard the emotion in his voice as he spoke about his time with the Toronto Blue Jays.
