The Tokyo Giants, a prominent Japanese professional baseball team, have announced that three of their players, including the renowned player Sosuke Baba, have been given notices of release from the team. It's a common practice in the competitive world of sports, when the club feels a player does not fit in their future plans, to hand out these notices, though it may come as a shock to some fans. The release could include termination of contracts or a trade-out to another team.

Baseball is an extremely popular sport in Japan, rivalling the national sport of sumo wrestling. Player transfers, releases, and contract terminations often become significant news, as fans are extremely invested and players are often highly respected figures. It can bring mixed feelings among the fans depending on the popularity and performance of the players involved.

This situation is quite similar to what happens in the professional sports scene in the USA or EU. In Major League Baseball in the US or Football leagues in EU, players are often traded, released, or contracts are bought out, based on each player's performance and the overall strategy of the team.
