Lin Huawei, the team leader, said yesterday that he has not contacted Lin Yiquan's agency after putting forward conditions last week. He is now waiting for news from the other party, and the conditions cannot be disclosed. "Gao Guohui's part is more optimistic, only a few details remain. .”

Lin Yiquan used to be the main first baseman of the Titans. He won the first baseman's gold glove 4 times and was selected as the best ten first baseman 6 times. However, he only played 40 games as a first baseman the year before last, and even fewer last year. Fan Guochen played 80 and 94 games respectively in the previous two years to 13 games. Last year, he became the double winner of first baseman Gold Glove and Best Ten for the first time.

Lin Yiquan had a monthly salary of 700,000 yuan last year. If he stays with the Titans this year, his monthly salary will be slashed. However, Fan Guochen’s salary is quite impressive. 200,000 rose sharply, becoming the "salary" force of the Titans.
