Who will be the next target for the Samsung Lions, who announced their companionship with foreigners Denny Reyes (28) and Lewin Diaz (28) following the renewal of internal FA Kim Heon-gon (36).
Samsung simultaneously announced the renewal of its contract with FA Kim Heon-gon (600 million won in total for two years), foreign pitcher Reyes (1.2 million dollars in total), and foreign batter Diaz (800,000 dollars in total). Initially, Samsung was expected to focus on recruiting external FA first to reinforce its power in this stove league, but contrary to that expectation, news of internal contract came first.
Samsung has benefited significantly from the investment this year. Samsung, which invested a total of 8.8 billion won (8.8 billion won (5.8 million U.S. dollars) in the bullpen alone ahead of this season, has advanced to the 온라인카지노 Korean Series for the first time in nine years by ranking second in the regular season thanks to a more stable back door and young fielder resources.
However, Samsung’s problems have not been completely resolved. Team Blon Save still had a lot (25), ranking second in the league), and there were not enough pitchers to share the burden of the must-win group. Eventually, closing pitcher Oh Seung-hwan failed to join the main team in the second half of this season, and major bullpen pitchers such as Lim Chang-min and Kim Tae-hoon failed to display enough power by allowing three runs in three games, one ⅔, and five runs and four earned runs in three games, two innings, and four earned runs.
Against this backdrop, Samsung failed to recruit Jang Hyun-sik, one of the biggest fish in the bullpen in the Stove League. Jang signed a contract with the LG Twins on an exceptional four-year guarantee of 5.2 billion won (approx. After watching the biggest fish in the bullpen move to LG, Samsung cannot afford to leave the Stove League empty-handed.
Samsung, which has settled its housework that had been delayed for a while, is likely to turn its attention to the outside world again. Currently, the remaining pitchers in the FA market include starting pitcher Choi Won-tae (A grade), bullpen Lim Ki-young and Lee Yong-chan (B grade), and Kim Kang-ryul, Lim Jung-ho and Moon Sung-hyun (C grade).
Considering the cost-effectiveness, recruiting bullpen pitchers will be a boost, but if you want a “sure shot,” you can’t stop recruiting “big-class” starters. Considering that unstable starters at the beginning of the season led to an overload of the bullpen, recruiting a solid starting pitcher can be a better option than recruiting an intermediate bullpen.
If Samsung recruits an outside FA, the announcement will likely be made after the date of enlistment of the Armed Forces athletic unit on December 2. The move is aimed at minimizing loss of compensation players by tying even one more person to the pending military list.
Attention is focusing on Samsung’s next move, which has yet to open its wallet in the FA market.
