A couple of players have lost their old numbers. As expected Shibata gave up 2 which is now Johjima's shirt number. The irony is that he is featured on the Tigers website at the moment (16th November). He will wear 00, Shuta's old number. Mizuta will give up 15 and take 32. This one is probably for Tigers next foreign pitcher signing.

I read that he is going to wear 7 not 00. But I am not 100%. Just asking. Thanks
